I think you mean CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) compatible TV instead of MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) which is the interface to convert the USB on your phone into an HDMI port that understands CEC. In that video they are actually demonstrating CEC when they are showing off the remove

The Roku Stick, and many phones, use MHL-compatible ports; CEC is the remote-control interface for MHL, but it's the MHL port that is required for a Roku stick. As far as I can tell, all MHL compatible host devices (e.g. TVs) also support CEC. On 10/20/2012 10:34 AM, Brian Cluff wrote: I

I'll answer the 2160p question: 2160p is 4K UHD resolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2160p). This probably doesn't fit your preferences (particularly the load a distro part), but it doesn't get much simpler than a Roku stick (http://www.roku.com/streamingstick) if you have a TV with a MHL
