As mentioned in the news, Skygo is finally available for Android 4..04/4.1/4.2+ and that includes the HTC One line.

If you have a HTC One & the HTC media link you can use it to mirror Skygo wirelessly to your TV.

Have you tried it? Have seen patchy reports on the performance of the HTC Media Link.

It works fine, after the recent update - and the quality is great (depending on the source of course).

 

From my experience its best to start your video/stream first and then connect to the medialink using the 3 finger gesture.

If you connect first and then start playing it can be a bit temperamental.

Not if I'm staying in a hotel - or visiting someone.

You can use a HTC medialink HD with any Android phone to beam photos/music/video located on the phone to the tv, using the app wi-fi media - for example ripped dvds. 

 

But only the HTC One series and SG3 let u mirror display(with the appropriate dongle) which is what you need to beam live internet streams to the tv.
