1396554	2015-03-17 00:45:00	I have a Panasonic Smart TV through which I can watch Lightbox etc. using HDMI cable and my laptop.... my Galaxy tablet browser wont run Lightbox - not one of the models listed.... so I am considering buying an iPad mainly for the purpose of being able to watch the odd show when I am in bed, or curled up in a chair.... I don't travel to out of the way places so cannot see me needing that type of facility.... I see "cellular" mentioned in the ads but don't know what this does? Any suggestions which model I should look for please? TIA	Bryden (4161)

1396556	2015-03-17 01:14:00	I just think the convenience of a tablet would suit better than a laptop with keyboard, less bulky.....	Bryden (4161)

I'm not sure if with the newer ipads that use the lightning connection (the short reversible one) if the lightning to HDMI cable exists or works (or you're allowed to use it - it's a permission the app builder can set). As others have said, a laptop would be a better and more versatile solution.	psycik (12851)

Any suggestions which model I should look for please? TIA You have iPad Air or iPad Air 2 to choose from so that part is pretty easy. If you are only going to be using it at home then you don't need to both with a SIM card. If you do want o use a SIM card then get a pre pay one. www.apple.com If you would prefer a bigger screen size then get a laptop. Lightbox for iPad here itunes.apple.com	Webdevguy (17166)

I've managed to find the apk file and install it on my nexus 7 but I need to deregister one of my other devices before I can test it. I googled light box apk and found it easy enough but if anyone wants me to send it to them just PM me the details of where to send it.	dugimodo (138)

Thanks for that info Dug :) I was only going by what was originally posted my Galaxy tablet browser wont run Lightbox Personally dont have lightbox, got enough junk to watch with now ;) No need for more.	wainuitech (129)
1396562	2015-03-17 04:51:00	Why not just Apple TV to watch on your TV? Watching in bed, that will cost more	Lawrence (2987)
1396563	2015-03-17 05:12:00	There's no native app. So need Apple tv + iPad for lightbox.	psycik (12851)
