Why not go to Radio Shack or Bestbuy or such a shop with your ideatab and ask them to supply a cable that fits?

USB, even the Micro USB/OTG is not usable for connections to a TV.

-> Your post asked how to transfer films to the TV and since this has no video output folk would be guessing if you wanted to use the usual cable to put the films onto some memory stick or drive.

So let's get the films which are files onto a stick. here's the cable.

If you had hopes of playing the film on the tablet and displaying them on the TV, this is the way.
