Now TV App <-> IPAD <-> HDMI <-> TV (subtitles work-around)

We got BT TV having been assured there'd be no problem with subtitles only to find that there are no subtitles at all with Now TV boxsets via BT TV 😠.

Using the Now TV app on the IPAD however, subtitles work fine.

So the obvious thing to do is to output the IPAD video via HDMI into the TV, thereby getting subtitles on the TV.

I haven't tried this yet, as I dont have an IPAD/HDMI converter. Searching around online though, I see indications that this won't work, as the Now TV app will block HDMI output for content-control reasons.

Can anyone say for sure whether it works or not before I go any further ?

another idea would be to use Chromecast. I've found a Now TV guide that says this is supported. Has anyone tried that ?

I tried it with Chromecast and it works perfectly (so far) 😃.

I'll do a separate post on this for people trying to get subtitles.
