    Can I connect a regular Kindle Fire to a TV?
    Community Answer
    You can connect this device to any TV very easily: You must simply plug it into a socket. On the other end of the cord there will be a trapezium shape; plug that into the trapezium-shaped hole on your TV, otherwise known as the HDMI socket. All you do next is change channels.
