Mirror Fibe app on my Android to the tv (not Chromecast).

[Tac2020]

Up until this week I have always been able to mirror my Fibe app on my android to the tv (not Chromecast). Did something change?

[Triumphtt]

I always used screen mirroring (smart view) for some years now and no issue at all.

The perfect way to watch on smart tv instead of a small phone... (I getting old! 🙄)

But since 1-2 weeks everything stop....by the way I can screen mirroring Toutv, tva+ Netflix. Only Bell tele fibe is not working

[Triumphtt]

Exactly the same issu for us......I hope it is just a bug and not a move done on purpose by Bell to stop the use of this good fonction (screen mirroring)

Actually the picture quality won’t be the best. It’s capped at 2.1 GB/s instead 3 (or 3.3 according to Bell Streamer).

[AlexS]

Most people simply opt for a cheap Amazon or Google TV boxe or stick.

[Tac2020]

You need wifi/internet with most sticks (Fire, Google etc.).  Smart View mirroring was the only option in areas where there are no internet availability.

Oh I never tried to download recordings or on-demand programs for casting. Guess satellite tv will still stick around for sometime.

[Triumphtt]

Do you have some news from Bell? Are they really working on this problem?

Went from Shaw tv to bell Fibe, always worked with Shaw satellite

If Bell cant retro they're september update..... will see

[AlexS]

Only moderators have official words here.

[Triumphtt]

But they don't give news....

I'm lucky, on one of our phone the update was not done automatically and it has the update done on August 30th and I can use my smart view as I always did. So it's obviously a problem with the last update done in September 

[AlexS]

Tbh that could be the final decision. Based on the discussion here, most people report this problem because they are trying to watch on TV outside their home without a separate subscription.

I have been using my samsung s23 on a mobile network to mirror Fibe TV to my TV at my cottage. I do not have wifi.  As others have stated, this no longer works and reports and Error when attempted.  Is it the position of Bell that this is intentional or is it a bug that will be fixed?  From your earlier reply it seemed it was a bug being investigated and now it appears to be the way it is.

I have been using android Smart View for the past week in my trailer. Fibe app on phone then mirror to Samsung TV.  I went to bed last night after watching TV.  This morning, I can no longer mirror to TV.  App says I need AirPlay or Chromecast.

WHY???

[Triumphtt]

Just for your information a lot of cottage don't have any access to internet and it's impossible to have Bell Satellite since we have too much trees  around that we are not allow to cut.....

At my cottage, tonight. Saturday 28 October 2023. It's 2010hrs (8:10pm) and we're settling in for the hockey game. Lo and behold.... It's not working!! Only a few weeks ago, I was watching baseball and a bit of preseason hockey up here, no problem. Now.. Nada! What is Bell up to now?
