Streaming Video to my CIC
Anyone have any good ideas on how to "free" my cool HD CIC screen & get content onto it outside the idrive?
ie: I can do video from the ipod (if its dedicated) and DVDs.
But is there a way to hack into it & hook up either Sling Box reception or Apple TV reception?
I have a portable WiFi router in the car so no issue with powering solutions through WiFi.
I know there are some creative types out there, & please help me as I have a 5 year old that craves content!!!

Hey MD,
Got a media adapter and used a 30 pin extension to my ipad. I works but it kind of sucks. It will only show video on 4:3 format on the middle of the screen.
1 thing I have figured out is that while playing a saved video I can click in my slingbox app and stream live tv. It will not work with Netflix do far...
if anyone knows how to ZOOM while watching iphone video that would be helpful.
think I put this in the wrong thread so I reposted

Depending on your phone and whether its jailbroken, there was a cydia app TVOut2 Mirror which can let you expand and contract what gets outputted.
