I have an HBO app that plays on my computer, but when I connected HDMI port to my TV I get the audio but the picture is my screen saver. How do I get the video to work?

2019-03-06T19:11:57+00:00 Hi Richard,
I would like to help you. In Windows with an extended display, some screen savers only work on the primary screen. You may have to use a mirror display or make the HDTV the primary display.
Let me know, please. kinds Regards
