TV Out Funtion?

Thanks...

You can then have your DLNA phone, such as the ThunderBolt, scan for the device. Once found and connected wirelessly, you can then stream your music, pictures, and video's/movies to your tv. So, at least they ...

that's great if your TV has HDMI in. Of course, an HDMI out from your phone is only useful if you have an HDMI in on your TV.... 🤣
