Is this good for streaming hd videos to smart tv?

It is just a switch. If you know how to connect your devices with an ethernet switch, it is theoretically fast enough for HD streaming. But I did not use it for that purpose before.

Yes, it does a great job. Use it in conjunction with a Sony blue ray player...

It will be fine the adapter is High Def. the only thing that I found to be concerned about is the placement of your Wi Fi router. The range for the adaptor is short and you need a good signal for full video.

Yes and no. Streaming audio and most video should be OK... But if you want to play a hardcore fast action hi Def video game I think the lag and occasional choppyness will be a showstopper

As long as the HDMI signal is not encrypted you're good to go. The card acts like any other video input device so it can be used with pretty much any streaming application or video conferencing tool.

It is worth considering whether or not the signal has HDCP encryption on it. If you're using it to display the output of a PC, it will work as you describe. But if you're trying to convert an HDMI output from something like a BluRay player, it may not (and likely will not) work, because of the HDCP encryption coming from the BluRay signal.

This box is ok for what it is. It should play ur regular dixv files ok and most mp4 files. I can't remember if it plays HDTV files or not. I use a different type system now that also streams movies from netflex and other providers. My streaming box was purchased at best buy and also plays all my files as well as HDTV files. I like it a lot better than the regular media player your asking about. Take care and hope you find what ur searching for.

Hello!I first bought this with a total backup solution for my home network and found that it was also perfect for streaming movies and videos to my Boxee Box and LG BluRay player.Absolutely recommend this but will caution you that mine is hooked up via a network and not plugged directly into a Smart TV. I do use it via the Ethernet port.Hope this was helpful and feel free to ask more...

That's the point of the receiver. Route all videos inputs to the HDMI output. I suppose there will be no loss of signals, you need to configure the HDMI output to HD (1080P).

No, this is for connecting to your TV and streaming apps you normally have on mobile of computer to your HD TV.

I have not use it for that purpose. I used it to stream Video files from my hard drive to the media player in another room. It works great.

I did and it works great. If you want high Definition (HD) pctures you need HD cable and a HD subscription.

The switch will support 100Mbit speeds, so HD streams will not be a problem and I use my switch to stream netflix at HD resolution

I believe so. I have not used it for this purpose, however. I simply needed to convert s-video to HDMI. The unit appeared to work, however I have changed my setup now and no longer use it.

Yes it can bitstream all HD audio formats over HDMI to a receiver (This was the main reason I bought it). I stream all my content from a NAS including BD rips and mkvs so there is no issue there.

YES. You need the Slimline Type to Receive HD Channels unless you don't want these type channels.

Hi, there exists specific builds of XBMC (media center) for this hardware, allowing watching HD videos smoothly. You can find further informations and .apk files on dedicated forum at http://androidtvbox.us. You can look for instance at http://androidtvbox.us/topic/built-xbmc-pivos-for-ya-all/. Regards.

It will easily support the the refresh rate on your TV, if your TV supports HDMI interface. You will need at least 9Mbps sustained on your WiFi to support a 1080p High Def streaming image. Your ISP may become your bottleneck, pending their actual speed delivered to you. (1.5Mb, 3.0Mb, 5.0Mb, 10Mb, 15Mb, etc)
