    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
    for other brands see https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=screen+mirroring+from+android+phone

    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?

    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.
