I have an Android phone on which i use some TV channel apps.
Is it possible to connect my phone to a television or computer to watch programs on a bigger screen?

On Samsung phone is called "screen mirroring" and Samsung TV's has it

If your TV doesn't have built-in cast functionality, get a Chromecast.

Thanks for your replies.
The Channel 4 app does not allow 'screen mirroring'.
Is it possible to connect a physical cable from phone to computer/tv?

You can diffinity cast it to a chrome cast.

Yes, you need a usb hub to do that. But it won't work that way I can confirm. The C4 app detects there is a second screen active.
