@Marathon2422 I'll try to get another HDMI adapter.
I suggest you get a Blackberry Playbook HDMI cable. Available on ebay at modest cost. Has a micro HDMI connector which plugs into the M10 and a standard HDMI connector which plugs into the TV. I'm wary of the type that have several conectors hanging off one end.
One further thought:
The BQ M10 HDMI out port is the one next to the charging port.
I use my old Blackberry Playbook HDMI cable to connect my M10 to the TV.
I don't remember if my M10 was supplied with an HDMI cable.

@dtarrant Did you just configure the TV and connected the HDMI cable? I did that but I got no response and all, so I thought something else was required to be done in the device, apart from the external screen bit.
I think I connected the HDMI cable, turned the tablet on and when nothing happened, I changed the HDMI setting on the TV. My TV has 3 HDMI ports and it's easy to mistake which connector you have plugged in to. So I left the cable where it was and just selected HDMI 1, 2 and 3 in succession until I found the one that worked.
@Angela_92 From memory, I've connected my M10 HD OTA 11 Stable to my Panasonic TV with an HDMI cable. The tablet touchscreen worked to control what was mirrored on the TV.
I had to configure the TV to select the HDMI input connector I was plugged in to. (This was easy to get wrong.)
The significant problem I had was lack of audio. The sound continued to come from the tablet speakers. Apparently this was a known deficiency of UT HDMI implementation.
Good luck.
@HendriXXX I have just watched your Development Environment Installation video. Awesome! That must have taken a huge effort to co-ordinate all the various video components. You are clearly also an experienced software developer.
Many thanks for your contribution to the life of Ubuntu Touch.
@zubozrout Thanks for that helpful guide. I already created a GitHub account recently in order to be able to report problems.
@dtarrant Followed your advice and now safely back to stable without losing anything. Many thanks for your help.
@Lakotaubp Once you're logged in, the menu is OK.
@Lakotaubp That's good news. Doesn't look like a scaling problem; looks like a displacement problem as there's a blank gap at the top.
Device is a Nexus 4.
@Lakotaubp BTW I noticed that the bottom of the forum menu is partially off the screen. That makes it difficult to access login. That problem also exists on stable. Have you noticed that issue?
