I do find that intriguing, I'm 90% sure that it didn't exist until last night.  Perhaps you were streaming to your tv directly.  I know that my samsung tv will accept casts from androids, but it isn't true miracast.

You where probably using playto or some other UPNP/DLNA system. The wireless display app mirrors your phone screen, be it email, internet, games, videos, text messages, whatever.



Miracast?

Anyone still think I'm wrong?

ofcourse that is "true miracast"

miracast is a protocol to connect a device wirelessly to a display, it's been supported by android since 2012, but smart device and display need the hardware to use it - the Xbox could just act as an adapter to a TV/monitor that doesn't support it by itself



How can I get it? Or do I need to be in the beta program?
