Does the HDMI in go to the PC (i.e. Win 8 Windows Media Center) or is it used as a HD TV (no controls via PC)

there is no indication from the manufacture, so you could goto there website and look see if they have drivers or offer information about it. Sense I refuse to upgrade my media center computer to windows 8 I couldn't tell you for sure.

I was running one on Win7-64 and upgraded to Windows 8. It works fine. Note that you have to purchase Media Center separately for Windows 8. However, they are offering if for free with Win-8 PRO for a while.

I've been wondering the same thing, only I have Windows XP Media Center. I'd like to be able to DVR shows on the PC and watch them on my regular TV. I'm starting to think I should just have a dedicated PC for the TV.

Not directly. The PC transmits to one receiver connected to display via HDMI.

For video outputs, the unit does have VGA & HDMI. I purchased this unit and setup windows 8 using an HDMI cable and my HDTV.

it works fine for me (out of box), it supports duplicate/extend screen modes, just like a desktop Windows 8. I use Amazon Basic micro HDMI to HDMI cable.

I would also like to know about this. In addition will it work with Windows Media Center?

I am note sure because I use it mostly with my TV, I do not use with my computer/laptop, since it is little older and does not have HDMI..Sorry Vaclav

There are several ways of connecting a PC to theTV. You can use RG or HDMI. Read the Sharp operator manual for this TV, page 44.

Windows 8 does not have media center software by default you will have to upgrade through microsoft, i think it was $10.00 then there was no problem with it

This depends on the video output of the PC. A friend of mine had a simular senario trying to connect a Samsung Smart TV that had only HDMI output to an Emachine desktop that only had VGA. It didnt work.

I do not have the cable attached from PC to TV. I have my Cable set up to stream from modem to wifi to tv or modem to pc. I believe the use of HDMI cable from pc to tv would work and have done from a laptop. Hope this helps.

I stopped using it months ago but at the time there was no driver for Windows 8 and according to what I was told by their support desk there was no plan to provide one. I settled for using an HDMI cable to connect to my TV.
