Can I just buy any old USB-C to HDMI cable ?

Cheers

Which model of phone and is it just a generic TV or a smart TV of some variety?

Hopefully a s24 ultra

Got a very old TV but does smart TV, got apps on it

When I googled, samsung said I needed their dex adaptor but out of stock and another website said discontinued , I got quite confused with it all

thanks guys

well, my S24 ultra arrived today so that's what I'll be using

saw a video where a guy using his S24 as DEX and switches between mirror mode

mirror mode doesn't look as good (doesn't fill the screen) so is DEX the way to go to use my apps on my phone full screen ?

You can't cast/mirror/HDMI output the Sky Go app so you are wasting your time.

If your main aim is to watch football on your TV, then as I already mentioned just get a Fire Stick. One of best pieces of tech you can buy, it's so good.

I watch all Premier League games on it and more, without Sky or any other subscription.

Thanks
Unfortunately that's the only way for me, my dad has sky and lives in a different county but does not use the app, so it's installed on my phone

Would fire stick still work?

You can watch sky go on a windows pc if that helps
