Can I use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect my iPad mini to a big-screen TV and watch iPlayer etc? I saw one comment suggesting I couldn't.
This is the only reason I want to buy the Lightning Digital AV Adapter, and was about to purchase until I saw someone saying you couldn't watch on-demand TV using this cable. That's the first I've heard of this though, so not sure if this is true or not.
I actually subscribe to Eurosport Player which is great on the iPad, but would be good to have the option to watch on a big TV, without going down the AirPlay route.- Asked by Paul S

AnswerIt is up to the app publisher to include support for video-out. For instance, I had attempted to stream HBO2GO to my AppleTV, only to find out it would pass audio but not video. HBO issued an update for the app just today allowing the video out (for both Airplay and AV ou,t like this product) to work from the app.

What is the other port beside the HDMI?
I can see that there are two ports, but I can't tell what the second one is and I don't see it in the description.
Is it just another Lightning port so you can charge at the same time as outputting video? That is my best guess...- Asked by Daniel P from Edmonton

I need to make this longer -- how can I extend the cord length from 20cm?
The pigtail on this cable is short (20cm I believe), which is probably fine if your phone is lying right next to your video monitor, but useless if you need some cordage to place the phone a few feet away. Anyone have any ideas how to lengthen this? I need to install it in my car console and need more cable to plug my phone into.
