I have a HDMI cable connected to my Tv and also connected to my Iphone. I don’t have wifi so using my mobile data I have downloaded the movie & can watch it on my phone. When I try to play it on my TV it says ‘cannot play movie-The connected display is not authorised to play protected movies.
i have paid for the movie!!
What is your solution, you should be able to connect your phone to TV and play movies via a hdmi cable?? It’s a lightening HDTV cable Max 1080p
Unfortunately, you can not "mirror" the movie playing on Apple TV App on your phone to your TV because of copyright issues. You can however, mirror the movie if you have an airplay compatible TV or set top box (e.g. Apple TV hardware).
Also keep in mind that for Netflix, you can't do any of that. Even if you have an airplay compatible device, you can not mirror Netflix to any of your devices.
Hope this helps

iTunes Store content should be able to be mirrored through an HDMI adapter that supports HDCP to a display that supports HDCP. The same is not true for Apple TV+ content (and other Apple TV app Channels), Apple restricts that to supported devices.
Devices you can use with the Apple TV app and Apple TV+ - Apple Support
Thankyou, if I got this adapter would it work for Netflix rather than Apple TV? Seems crazy how you can’t view it on the big screen instead of looking at your phone, I paid for the movie, crikey what more do they want hey.
I was under the impression that Netflix would have blocked any kind of mirroring last year, but the Questions & Answers section for that product seem to have a few users that claim that Netflix still works with it for them.
Thankyou for your help. I saw that in the Questions and Answers too which made me think the adapter would work but I don’t want to buy it only to find it does not work. My daughter used to use her laptop as the connecting device to the TV but I don’t have a laptop. Just thought my iPhone would work the same way but evidently not. Thanks again.
