Does watching on my phone use one of my screens?

Can the phone send the picture to my television?
Android players support Chromecast to Google TV and Chromecast devices; iPhones use AirPlay to Apple TV and AirPlay-capable TVs.
How do I save mobile data?
Choose SD channels where available, or set the player's quality lower. A 90-minute match in SD uses about 1.5 GB.
