Anker projector

[Adamspitfire]

I want to buy a small portable projector - can sky q be watched through one like the Anker nebula capsule?

[best+of+the+best]

@Adamspitfire The Anker Nebula is only HDMI 1.4 and up to 1080p

To be honest it maybe suitable for connecting a  mobile phone or one of the lower priced PS4 or XBOX 360 games consoles or even a FireTv Stick.

I wouldn't connect the Sky Q main box as it's 4K UHD HDR may consider Sky Q mini if my tv was broke.

But each too their own I guess

Technically yes at HD resolution, as the hardware claims both HDMI and HDCP compliance up to 'HD' (actually 720p for the Capsule II, and 200 lumens).  The first model is 854x480 and 100 lumens so likely to be rather underwhelming compared to any television unless image dimensions are all that matter to you.

I have so far tried and fail to connect via sky Q mini to my nebula capsule.

The mini works on TV using same HDMI cable and the projector works off chrome book again same HDMI cable

When using the mini the projector just shows no HDMI signal.

If any one else gets it to work do let me know.

@davesmeith+smeitWhat resolution is your Q box set at depending on which version of the capsule you have you may have to drop the resolution as low as 720p.

I don't know thats a good idea. Can I change the resolution in settings?

I'll take a look tonight.

@davesmeith+smeitYes this is how to change the resolution.

Capsule or Capsule II?  As I noted above, the original version isn't really HD at all.
