Video Out - what can it do?

I was thinking of getting a video out cable for my TP, but in reading the manual, it says you cannot view Sprint TV or send music through the video out cable. Not that I would want to do that anyway, but it got me thinking... are there any other limitations? Caveats?

I have found threads where people are sending video from the YouTube player and other apps like CorePlayer or TCPMP, but what about from a browser?

I think it would be cool to be able to surf the web using a larger TV screen when I don't have a computer w/internet readily available.

Or what about playing a game (like Teeter) and sending the video out to the TV?

Can the weather screen get sent out to the TV?

All the things you listed work just fine & you can definitely send music through the cable also, I do it all the time.

Re: Video Out - what can it do?

Thanks for the info. I guess what confused me is that is specifically states in the manual that came in the box from Sprint...

"The Video Out feature cannot be used with Sprint TV."

and

"When you plug in the Video Out cable accessory to your device, you will not be able to play music files from the TouchFLO 3D Sprint Music tab."

Unless you mod it, you won't get the music tab from TF3D in landscape mode (which is pushed on you when you plug in video out). However other audio players can play just fine.

True, but if you open the music app before plugging in the cable it works just fine.

Re: Video Out - what can it do?

Most everything from the phone does work, Slingbox, browser, Sirius radio with proper account and cab, Kinoma, etc. However, Sirius TV does not seem to and I have not tried Sirius radio.
