Hi all

This will read like a horribly first world problem I'm afraid....

I'm trying to connect our iPad mini (new) to a TV to watch pre-downloaded 
films with the children whilst on holiday. These include iPlayer, Prime, 
Netflix and purchased content.
I have both an adaptor (non-Apple) and a USB-C to HDMI cable.
The adaptor works with my hp monitor. When plugged in to the TV, the iPad 
thinks it's mirroring but nothing appears on the TV.
The cable works just fine my TV at home but not with the TV in the 
apartment. The latter is a more generic and older unit. The iPad thinks it 
is mirroring, but behaves like the adaptor.
I've tried off/on, unlpugging, restarting etc.

Various other (lesser!) forums suggest mirroring movies is often unreliable 
and all part of DRM protection, hence the different results I'm generating.

I know Apple sell a rather expensive adaptor. I just wonder if it's the 
receiving TV not being able to mirror in quite the same way? I'm not really 
wanting to purchase a pricey adaptor for this, especially without more 
certainty it'll resolve the problem.

Any thoughts or ideas or experience, gratefully received!

Cheerio

Adam
