[UK] where to buy genuine accessories? USB connectivity

[SUroot]

Hey guys,

I want to investigate the USB host mode and HDMI connectivity. Apparently the Pinning is different for the USB > HDMI. Not sure about the USB connector.

Who knows where to buy the official ones at a good price please? I want to mess around promarily with USB peripherals. Keyboards, Mice, USB sticks....

But display too would be great.

Also can you do display and peripherals at the same time?

If you go to Amazon.co.uk and type "Samsung Galaxy S3 HDTV Adapter" there are several available from

This is pretty much the cheapest I've found the official HDMI adapter at just under

I have a Samsung TV and BDP but they're not wirelessly enabled. The BDP is on Cat5 though...

I'll be honest and say I don't really understand the entire allshare business. Apparently I need to a Dongle as its only 2010+ Sammy TV's and mine is 2009. It has USB ports thats all I know.

Find out if your Bluray player maybe supports DLNA, as this is the protocol that Allshare uses, I believe. Otherwise there's a dedicated Samsung receiver box, the Allshare Cast Dongle:

I think that if you download the Allshare PC software from samsung.com, you might be able to get a connection. This is all an exciting mystery to me also.

Check if your devices are DLNA certified here

Nope. The TV apparently is DLNA Certified. Whatever that means

Edit - although not on that link its not....

AllShare Play is really simple - its a sort of "Super Bluetooth" which uses your Wi-Fi (your modem if you are at home) to view and move files between ASP enabled devices. So you set up your phone and desktop for ASP and you can view your PC files on your phone and copy them if you wish - very much faster than Bluetooth.
You can use one of these http://androidforums.com/google-tv/549486-mini-android-tv-zero-devices-z802-android-4-0-a.html to run Android OS on your TV and they are not hugely expensive.
