Help Can you stream videos to a TV?

[Trauma]

With the hdmi cable is it possible to stream videos saved to the phone to a TV?

Say i put a movie like Avatar on my phone, can i play it on the TV?


Edit: i just read the other thread and apparently at this time you cannot do this

Yes, they just need to be in a format that Android supports.

I currently have two DVD movies that I have stored on my DX and can play with no problem. They also show up in the media gallery so perhaps they can be played on a TV using the HDMI port. I'm still waiting for my HDMI cable to arrive, but from my understanding anything that can be seen in the gallery can be outputted on the HDMI port.

True, I should qualified it with what current media players you have installed. Then again, I did not want to make any assumptions on what was and was not installed.
