There is a lot of way to get your phone to display things on tv. Also with computers and what not. How ever I have not ran into a way to get media TO my phone. For example getting what's on tv and me watching it on my phone. Also getting my computer screen and it being displayed on my phone. Also even a better idea streaming what your Xbox would send to a tv, to your phone. So what I am asking is there a way to send your tv, computer, or Xbox screen to your phone and play it off of your phone?

Teamviewer has an app. Try that to watch it, but you wont' be able to interact with it.

Not really. You might be able to do it with an apple tv to an iPhone or iPad but im not sure.


If you need to go down in screen size then there is usually already an app for it. LIke netflix for your phone, and directTV, and LogMeIn, etc, etc.

No point in making a program that scales down the media when the producer/developer already has an app that does it for you.

Oh ok. See what my real plan was to some how stream what ever is plying on my tv to my phone but completely forgot about the Twc apps and what not. However I did have another plan, and that was to stream what was on my Xbox to my phone. I have 2 ideas for this. First idea is to get my dazzle and connect it to my comp and use something like teamviewer to play what ever is on my Xbox on my phone. 2 idea and the more impractical one, is to make a capture card that can wirelessly stream the picture to an app on my phone. The app of course would show what the cap card is getting. Just a little side project and I always like making new things but I kinda think this one might not happen.
Ps
If anyone's commits about the smartglass thing, no that doesn't work the way I want it to. I don't want a second screen I want the actual thing the Xbox is sending to my tv, to my phone.

If you wanted to that bad you could probably make something to do it but I have one small question...WHY?

Why go from a bigger screen to a much smaller one that will be tied to a cap card and cables or a wifi network.

Plus, phones can't handle xbox and computer graphics. If you were able to get anything there it'd have to be scaled down considerably.
