Yes, you can stream Netflix over cellular data. You'll need to connect the phone to the television via a cable. You should also keep a very close eye on your data usage. Streaming video can use it up very rapidly.

Well, until I changed internet providers, my LTE connection was better than my home internet so, I can certainly imagine it. But, given the amount of data the streaming of video I do would use up, I think my carrier would kick me off my grandfathered unlimited data plan. ?

Connection is great. I've been streaming on I phone. I looked into it, and I can mirror (stream) from phone to tv using an HDMI cable with a Lightning Digital AV adapter. ($49) I can't get Internet at home. I have direct tv, but like some of the new shows on Netflix. I think I use around 1gb per hr. from experience with phone. I'm just interested in a few shows or movies now and then so I should be ok. My experience with cell data is once you hit certain usage they slow you down. I've never heard of contract be canceled. Thanks for the reply, it was helpful.

I'm going to be traveling for a few weeks and I'd like to stream Netflix from my iPad Pro to a hotel TV. I looked into the Lightning Digital AV Adapter but, according to the reviews, video is quite degraded. Therefore I've been considering other options. Since a 3rd generation Apple TV can be had for not much more than the cost of the AV adapter, I was thinking that perhaps I would try AirPlay instead. I'm wondering if others have traveled with Apple TV and whether it's necessary to use wifi with Apple TV. In other words, can I connect my iPad to the hotel wifi and then use AirPlay to stream video to Apple TV, which will be connected to the TV using an HDMI cable? Does anyone have any other creative solutions for streaming video to a hotel TV? Thank you very much for your help.

For Airplay, the Apple TV must be on the same network as the iPad. Wired Ethernet or Wifi, your choice. The streaming between the iPad and the Apple TV is done on the wifi network, NOT between the 2 devices wirelessly.

Also, if you didn't know this, AND I am sure a lot of Netflix users don't, if you go into your Netflix account from a web browser or a web browser on your computer, and log into your Netflix account, you CAN change the streaming quality of Netflix to all of your devices to have it stream to a higher quality.

For better quality the Hotel Wifi in your room would need to be able to handle the extra bandwidth from its Internet servers to handle better quality video at say 8-9 and 10-12 Mbps for HD quality looking video on screen.

We pay for 25 Mbps Wifi streaming service and our local Home Wifi with normal video streaming and other devices on the Internet doing whatever, never exceeds 20-22 Mbps of our paid monthly broadband Internet service.

This setting will still give you a good picture onscreen. You'll only notice the lower quality difference at close visual range. At normal viewing distances the streamed picture should still look fine at the Standard definition setting.

If you stream Netflix from your iPad at Standard definition and you get occasional blocky picture or intermittent stutter or buffering 1-3 times during the length of a full feature movie, leave the Netflix playback quality on Standard.

If you can't get Netflix to stream out of your iPad to the hotel TV at all in High or Standard video definition, you will have no choice, but to try Netflix's Auto or Low streaming settings which may yield a less than ideal picture on the TV.

Using a streaming box like Apple TV and using Airplay won't change those factors if Wifi speeds on the Hotel's Wireless network are at peak use by guests and creates limited WiFi speeds/bandwidth/bottlenecks.

Actually, you can use peer-to-peer AirPlay by turning on Bluetooth on the iOS device. See How to use AirPlay on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. The device locates ATV over Bluetooth and they establish a direct link on channel 149, independent of the network. The ATV may not be happy with no network connection, but it ought to work. The catch for the OP would be if the Netflix app blocks AirPlay. Certainly, the cleanest solution would be a direct HDMI connection.

The Netflix app for iOS supports AirPlay, a proprietary protocol stack developed by Apple, which allows wireless streaming between devices of multimedia content. This means that you can stream Netflix movies and shows from your iOS devices to any AirPlay-enabled devices over local Wi-Fi. And because the app also supports offline downloads, you have everything you need to enjoy Netflix offline on your Mac. Well, almost everything. You also need an app like AirServer so you can receive AirPlay streams on your Mac.

The easiest and proven solution is to access Netflix via Google Chrome browser on your Mac as @Nimesh Neema explained. You can even stream to any TV using Chromecast in Google Chrome browser and with $35 Cast dongle device (at any best buy) that plugs into any TV with HDMI plug.

There is no official Netflix macOS app. You can only stream video from Netflix on a desktop computer using a Web browser and Internet connection. It is also not possible to download movie from Netflix website on a desktop computer.

If you use Airplay or Screen Mirroring
Airplay and Screen Mirroring are no longer supported by Netflix.
To use your iPhone or iPad to watch Netflix on a TV, use a supported connection.
Also it has to be an 'ad free; type of account:

True, but in this case legal won that battle. Plus it's easier. We use Swank for licensing the physical media playback anyways so we just tacked on the streaming service and we have our butts covered.

@ger Sorry if I am missing something here but you would assign license / push out the managed app via MDM / Jamf to the apple tv device, it is the same as the ipadOS app.
Instead of airplay you are now playing the content directly via the Netflix app installed on the Apple TV.

As unhelpful as it sounds, anyone that has a netflix account and wants to display content, will need to log into the Apple TV app then navigate the interface to play.
Airplay (I imagine) has less ways of ramming adverts down your throat so the main streaming apps cut off support as opposed streaming content directly in app.

Ok great. Yes either, just depends if they still have the remote but sign-in on screen.

* Yes we do, either by managed iPad or unmanaged iOS device.
* Yes it sure is, send out a profile to your Apple TV's and allow list either;

- iOS devices that are allowed to use Apple TV Remote app with this ATV
- Apple TV's that are allowed to be controlled with iOS / Apple TV Remote app

You can browse individual managed devices to select and it will populate: name and mac address. Otherwise, set to all allowed.

I have to use JAMF School, and it seems to be different to your PRO version.
In ATV Profile under tvOS payload / Apple TV Remote / I may allow all devices with Apple TV Remote App to control ATVs. Or I may enter the MAC-Address of allowed devices.

As I do not want students to use the Netflix App and as I do not want them to control the ATVs with their iPad, I did not select the ALL devices option.
For testing purpose I entered the MAC of my iPhone, WLAN and Bluetooth. ( do I have to enter it with or without : , like AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or like AABBCCDDEEFF )
But I could not connect to the ATV.
I do not have your "Controlled Apple TV Devices" option, but I may assign a device group containing the ATVs to the profile.

Unfortunately my JAMF School WebUserInterface is in german and I can not find any setting to switch to english, Windows and Browser are set to english. My account information is even shown in english. :-(

Strange about not seeing the settings, maybe just confirm there isn't any filtering toggled on when creating the profile as those two settings are meant for different models and will disappear if filtered with the other device. Good luck!

I am unable to cast to Roku from mobiles without login into Netflix from the Roku device. in my home, we have multiple netflix accounts and everytime it requires the users to log in to Roku separately

With casting, the mobile device (your phone) sends a command to the streaming device (your Roku) telling it to launch the app (Netflix), load the particular content, and proceed to the corresponding timestamp.

What many think happens is the phone is dong the streaming. They're incorrect. Once you start casting to Roku (or Chromecast, which works the same way), the stream is now from the Roku, which means the Roku app is running. If the app requires you to log in to use, then you must log in to use.
