[Q] TV launcher not working - any ideas?

---

When I connect the supplied HDMI cable between my Xperia S and TV*, I get a notification that HDMI is connected. However, TV launcher doesn't start so I cannot see anything on the TV screen.

Is it possible that an app I have installed is interfering with TV launcher?

Anything else I can try?

Xperia S on O2 UK, TV launcher is v 1.0.A.0.11.

*I've tried 3 different TVs with the same result.

I've now found a TV that it works on, so I know it's not my phone. New question: why doesn't it work on every TV?

Do you select HDMI input on your TV or you just wait until it shows up on TV screen? If the second, bear in mind some TV (if not set) they won't go to HDMI automatically.

Yes, I ensure that I select the correct input. For example on my Toshiba I use HDMI 4 which I choose before connecting the phone. When I do this, the blue Toshiba screen turns to black which probably indicates that something is physically connected to that input, but nothing happens on the phone other than the notification. I did the same on an Asus TV/Monitor and TV launcher starts. On an LG monitor at work it says that it's out of range.

Check via liveware if the tv starter is assigned to the hdmi action ;)

Did it work on a Sony TV?

Im not sure but it might only work on other Sony products.

Yes, it is. It does work OK on one TV.

I don't have a Sony TV to test it on. It has only worked for me on an Asus 24T1E TV/ Monitor.

Works for me on my BenQ PC Monitor

I have an LG monitor at work and it doesn't work on that. I thought HDMI meant it would work on any display with HDMI inputs.
