Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter (MD826AM/A)

I had a 3rd party adapter that stopped working for streaming services Netflix and Prime, and after reading a number of reviews learned that "only the official Apple product" would now work for streaming. The 3rd party devices would work for Youtube, and not much else, which was also my experience. So reluctantly I spent the $45 for the Apple device, and yes it worked great immediately out of the box, no problem. Then out of curiosity, I tried my old 3rd party device, just to see the error messages again for streaming and TO MY SURPRISE it now worked too! Weird. My only guess is that the Apple device somehow unlocks a protocol to allow streaming that the clone device can then pick up.
