Just looked through the old thread. This was mentioned by Cornerman but no links were given.
Not sure why I didn't try this before.
With Turning Stone coming next week I was getting anxious I guess.
Just trying to help out.
Btw I got Chrome Cast for Xmas but never opened it. I returned it.
Better to use what you already have right? $$
First: They tell you, but you definitely need a Roku or Smart TV that accepts screen mirroring.
Also requires Android 4.0 and up.
**I did download and try the Roku Casting App first. It worked great but DOES NOT WORK FOR Ustream!! They still don't get along.
********************************
Follow the steps in the links. I'll check back and help if I can.
It works great. Quality seems similar. With mirroring, texts and calls will interrupt.
Oh well.
1. Download the Screen Mirroring App on your phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=screenmirroring.abdelm.com.screenmirroring&hl=en
2.This link will take you step by step through the rest of the process.

Casting is definitely better. Chrome Cast will get you there too.
I meant this thread as a supplement to the old one for Roku users who were bummed out after the "divorce" and wanted to use their same equipment.
I hard wired my computer into my big TV downstairs a while back. (Love that) Old school. Always works too.
I'm using the mirroring option for my small bedroom TV when I just want to load around and watch some pool!:grin:
