Need help finding an ipad to hdmi converter

HeraldS

I signed up for HBO Now recently and it works much better on my ipad than on my laptop. I would really love to hook my ipad up to my tv/receiver so I could watch GoT and whatnot on the big screen with surround sound. Would also really love something that's Prime eligible and not more than $15-20. Best I could find so far is this. Anything better out there?

edit: Looks like the one I found on Amazon has ios issues. Might not work on the newest ios or just might not work on that particular iteration (8.0 & 8.02). Don't know if that would be a problem for other devices as well.

edit pt. 2: I have an ipad 2 for what it's worth.

As @mts said, the Chromecast is a great solution.

The Chromecast plugs into a HDMI slot on your TV hooks up to your WiFi. You then control it using the iOS or Android app, and it can stream from most major services. The Smartdevice you use isn't involved in the stream (only in telling the Chromecast what to connect) meaning you can use the iPad for other things without having any impact on the stream.

You can get a list of all supported services from this page

So funny story- HBO Now won't stream to your TV off your ipad via hdmi or anything. HBO and/or Apple have disabled that from working. You can get sound but no video. I found and adapter at Best Buy that would work if not for this. Thanks for your help everyone.

Mods, please close this thread.
