The phone is MHL capable, but you need a ROM that supports it. you need an MHL adapter (I bought one for 6$ on ebay), which connects to the MicroUSB port on the phone, and has an HDMI port on the other side, which you connect to your TV.

From personal experience, ICS Sense ROMs support it, CM10.1 does not (if I'm not mistaken... I remember testing it myself).

I googled it, and it seems there are some hubs available on the web that allow both MHL and USB hub functionality at the same time. Even if there aren't, MHL requires power supply, so all MHL adapters have a MicroUSB port, which might allow USB hubs to be connected to them. I do not have such hub myself, but I will see if this port is functional, and therefore could also allow USB OTG.

But such thing might drain the battery quite fast, as MHL by itself drains power even when connected to the charger.

Edit: I tested it, by using the MHL adapter connected from the MicroUSB female to a laptop, and the HDMI to TV. MHL worked (the image was shown on TV, but it caused my phone to go crazy and it couldn't render the image on the display properly (using CM10.1, on ViperS 1.6.3 it worked fine). The computer did not recognize the phone, and the phone only recognized a power source.

Maybe a hybrid hub could work, search the web for such a thing, but I don't think it is possible with a normal MHL adapter.
