The Apple tv only has a HDMI port so that is what you want

HDMI lead

Do you mean 'mirror' of 'airplay'? If you are mirroring you basically just see what the phone has on it's screen - so that can be quite a small picture. If you use airplay you will get a much better picture but it doesn't work with ITV1 or Sky Go (barstewards!). You can mirror ITV1 though and it covers about 50% ofthe screen.


This is part of my confusion and also the reason for the question. I have the iPhone 3GS and my question is, with a lead such as the one I linked to, will filmOn & TVcatchup work?

I bought the Apple component cable set and next to nothing worked on the telly so I took it back :-\ - also, with my iPhone and a lead as linked to - will I get full screen on the telly? Oh, and also, can I play games and use the telly as the screen?

Ta!

I think that hose adapters only allow you to show your picture gallery and maybe YouTube on a 3GS. Not TVcatchup or the like

Sorry Steve, do you mean the one I linked to or the Apple component cable I mentioned? I know for a fact that the component cable doesn't let you do much - would this HDMI one be similar?

Both I think. It's a limitation of the iPhone 3gs
