Here is the catch...the newest cell phones have eliminated from their internal system the MHL necessary for this to work. That is probably why you can not get audio when you simply hook up the HDMI to your phone.

You must have the MHL to HDMI converter and your phone (or device) must contain the MHL programming.

I use my old android phone (Note) which works perfectly. Netflix does have a limit on how many it will allow you to download to your device at a time, but I have never found that to be a problem. I just delete after I've watched them and the next time I am near WiFi I download some more.

I love the system. I do not have satellite so this allows me to watch my favorite Netflix shows even when boon docking in an area with zero TV reception.

Thanks everyone for the help/advice. I assume that streaming would work fine with the HDMI adapter. It's when I download Netflix or Amazon videos that playback is audio only. I've had the problem for years because our place in WI has 1.5Mb bandwidth. I download overnight and watch the next day. The only way I've gotten this yo work is with Apple TV and Airplay. I'll have to look into MHL. I'm not familiar with it. My first test will be with my Apple TV and an old router I have. If I can set up a LAN in the MH, Airplay might just work fine.
