Add-on for TV to allow tablet "mirroring"?
Discussion
I've got 2 Samsung TVs which allow me to "beam" Youtube content from my Samsung and Huawei tablets. I find this method of selecting and watching music videos much easier than navigating using the TVs' own apps - "typing" with the remote is a real pain.
A friend has a Bush smart TV, and I can't "beam" from a tablet to the TV - it doesn't show up as an available target. Watching her struggle with typing on the the TV remote is painful - she gets annoyed with it.
I guess this feature is only found on Samsung TVs?
Is there a simple device that can be plugged into the TV's HDMI port that will allow "beaming/mirroring" from an Android tablet?

For what it's worth we mirror our Samsung phones to the TV via 'miracast' to an Amazon Firestick (currently on sale for £20 for the non-4K version). Works really well - exactly as you'd hope and expect really. We might have been lucky with compatibility though as it looks like stock Android phones no longer support Miracast natively and I'm not sure if 3rd party apps are able to add such functionality (they might; I just haven't looked into it).
