Some TV services do not let you stream through adapters, but will let you watch it directly on your device. I suspect to stop you from having "viewing parties"

Seafowl · Answer

It depends on the app, but in most cases I can watch whatever is on the screen using this cable. If the app doesn't support it natively then you can just mirror the screen from your phone and it usually does just fine that way. This is how I was able to watch the Olympics on our TVs at work.

Yes. Anything that you can see on your phone will show up on the tv. You must have a HDMI cable running from the tv to the adaptor. I bought two 25' HDMI cables from amazon for $13!!! 
didn't have internet at home but using my internet service via my cell phone was able to stream many tv shows and movies. You can also charge your iPhone simultaneously.

It'll mirror whatever you can put through your phone. So yes

Franco · Answer

Yes you can. As long as it streams on your phone it will mirror it on your tv or monitor. It steams in HD so it's good quality.

I don't believe it will work with the dish anywhere app. I have xfinity app and cannot watch anything.

If you can access the app on your iPhone, using this adapter, you will be able to see anything from your phone to the TV. Enjoy!!

this adapter allows you to connect an apple device via and HDMI cable to an external monitor. It does not give you any ability to connect with anything over wifi. If the Dish Anywhere app allows you to see your content over wifi, this is great. You MIGHT be able to then send this output to an external screen, HOWEVER, most content over wifi apps have digital rights managment (DRM) that will keep you from piping the content out to an external screen. The DRM is in place to keep you from gaming the licensing / content. You can try it, but it might or might not work (80% against). Your better bet is to see if your dish anywhere app is available on the new apple TV. If so, this WILL work.

I would recommend:
