    If your iPad is jail broken it will work.

    Thanks for replies.
    Don't have iPad I just want to purchase a cheapish tablet for this.

    Would chromecast work?

    The Chromecast wouldn't really work all that well, since you would have to cast the screen, which isn't great.

    Also I believe you need to have a TV that supports MHL to be able hook your tablet up via HDMI (Though I am not positive).

    Why do you want a tablet to stream a TV subscription to your TV? Am I missing something here...?

    It's not illegal though so I don't think Boards would be bothered.
