Why can’t I use my iPhone with the Apple lightning HDMI cable to watch TV?

I have a new iPhone SE and an Apple lightning cable with an HDMI cable and a smart TV. Why can’t I do live streaming from the iPhonethe TV?

Since you are posting in the Directv forum, I presume you are talking about the Directv app. The Directv app does not support that capability, in fact it purposely blocks it. If you want to watch Directv on a TV, you need a Directv receiver.
