I tested the mirror entity with the latest map2DIF_plus for the TGEA and it worked fine for me. There's also a planar reflection shader that you can try.

I haven't done tests, but I'm curious which of those two uses fewer engine resources. Maybe the shader because video cards are built for shader optimizations?

I don't know -- would be interesting to find out.

Thanks Eric, I think I will go for the shader
