Have you considered using Apple’s built-in AirPlay functionality? It’s actually pretty convenient and doesn’t require any additional downloads if your Sony TV supports AirPlay 2. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network: This is crucial for mirroring to work effectively.

  2. Check if your Sony TV supports AirPlay 2: Most newer models do, but it’s worth verifying in the TV settings or on the Sony website.

  3. Enable AirPlay on your Sony TV: Go to the settings menu on your TV, find ‘AirPlay & HomeKit’, and make sure AirPlay is turned on.

  4. Open Control Center on your iPhone: Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen on newer iPhones or swipe up from the bottom on older models.

  5. Tap on Screen Mirroring: You should see a list of available devices. Select your Sony TV from the list.

  6. Enter the code: If prompted, enter the AirPlay code displaying on your Sony TV into your iPhone.

  7. Start your video: Just play any video you’d like, and it should appear on your Sony TV.

AirPlay might be a more seamless option because you won’t have to rely on third-party apps. But if your TV doesn’t support AirPlay 2, the DoCast app that @sonhadordobosque mentioned is a solid alternative.

Sometimes, a simple reboot of both devices can fix any lingering connection issues, as suggested. Also, double-check whether there’s any firmware update for your TV that might improve compatibility and performance.
