Did anyone try this product? This is the most promising gadget I have seen in recent times. If this works as advertised, it would be a standard for wireless HD streaming. Even though Netgear PTV2000 sounds interesting but I don't like the requirement for 2nd generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors to stream 1080p video. I hate to admit LOL, but I am waiting for someone to buy this and review the product before I make a decision. Did anyone try this product?

Data compression and encryption for transmission are handled by the CPU on the transmission side of the device. Video requires a fairly large number of calculations and thus a beefy CPU. If you are using it more for displaying presentations or as a second monitor to typical desktop applications the CPU requirements are greatly reduced.

I have HP touchsmart TM2 notebook with Intel Core(TM) i3 CPU, 1.20 Ghz processor and 4.00 GB RAM and Widows 7. As a tech support I hope you can answer if Warpia StreamHD wireless will work with my PC streaming 1080p? The system requirements call for Intel Core Duo 2,4Ghz processor so, I wonder will my notebook be able to stream HD video to my HDTV? And if not 1080P how about 720p? My main concern is that I will have frequent frozen pictures on TV screen. Please respond

Yes, I tried it. See my review here. Main point: I wasn't able to reliably stream 1080 even with very fast PC. Everything else works well though.http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/01/warpia-streamhd-swp120a-review-usb-hdmi-wireless-pc-to-tv-1080p-display-adapter/

Yes, its still worth it, its still I awesome piece of hardware. I personally dont really use the game streaming feature a lot, but I love the attention it gets me in public. People are always like wow what are you playing on.

I'm trying to do the exact same thing. I have a Sony BDP N460, a blu ray player with an ethernet port but no wireless. First let me suggest what I'm currently using. The Netgear XAV101 PowerLine AV (look for the product that includes two units) which sends internet through your existing power wires. You connect an ethernet cable from your router to one of these devices plugged in to an outlet. Then take the second device and plug it in where you want internet access. Ideally you can get about 150 Mbps (when I connected to the next room). But where I need to go is across the house and the speed is at best 47 Mbps. The bottom line however is that it totally works. I can stream Netflix content (in HD) no problem. The quality is noticeable reduced, but definitely watchable, and for content you're not going to watch on blu ray disc anyways, might not be an issue. Now for the question at hand, I just received this item you are asking about. I was hoping it would grab internet wirelessly from my wireless N router. I'm thinking that yes another one may be required. For just under twice as much there is this product http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126R3P6/ which includes two wireless bridges. This may be what we're looking for. I can't understand why there isn't simply a single device that will connect wirelessly to my wireless router and give internet access to a network device. But maybe it's possible if the tech said so. I hope so otherwise I'm spending more money and I want to stick with Netgear because my experience and the general consensus is that their devices are more reliable than others. And I just noticed the post is a year old. Well maybe this will help someone.

Yes, it is WiDi capable and I was able to make that work briefly through a Netgear Push2TV (PTV3000) adapter. But the adapter turned out to be defective (or went bad quickly) and, after consulting with the Netgear support, I had to return that to the seller. I am afraid to buy another WiDi adapter until someone comes up with a reliable one. So, for now, I have this laptop hooked with an HDTV via a long HDMI cable--and that works okay.

I think everyone interested in this should contact Amazon. At the moment, the response is that they will forward the request to the VOD team. The more they hear the same request, the more they may consider it. My email: This is just a kind request to offer Video on Demand on the LG BD570 player via Netcast. I realize that it's offered offered on BD670, but seeing as the 570 is still being sold (I purchased it less than a year ago), I think you can gain more customers. I am planning on cancelling my Netflix account and am considering VOD for myself. My mother is using the BD570 and I want to order a VOD service for her as well. According to the LG responses to this request, it's not their decision, but Amazon's. Most consumers are posing the request to LG, but you can see from the discussions on Amazon that this is something wanted. Amazon's response: Hello, Thanks for suggesting that we provide Amazon Instant Video content for LG BD570 Blu-ray Player. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of watching our digital videos. I appreciate your thoughts and I have forwarded your suggestion to the Instant Video team.

Video streaming seems to be great, even with HD. That's primarily what we use it form, and no complaints at all for that.

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13. EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

I have purchased several of these devices, but have not opened any. Dont know if its worth the risk. Purchased a Tripe Mate Elite by HooToo, which is a wireless router that lets you connect an external hard drive (>1TB), do pass thrus, etc. Check this device in Amazon and read reviews. Cost was pretty minimal ±$40. Then you can have several HD's and used the one you want. Need to check the movie whether MP4, or what, has some limitations.

no its not. only good for 2.4. if you have 2.5 and trying to stream do QOS for the device thats streaming. that way you dont have to worry. hope this helps

I use this device to just steam internet videos. If I were planning on using it for digital signage I'd spend more money and at least get the quad core. It will work at 1080p but I have mine set at 720p to improve performance

It really isn't what this device is designed to do. I'm not saying it can't be done--there are people who have modified this device to run Apache web servers and SQL databases. I know it can do some streaming of previously recorded material, but it isn't why I bought the device and I haven't tried it.

It is regrettable, but Dwayne is correct. These are not well made. In many instances the cheap devices are actually what we (I'm an embedded systems programmer) consider prototypes not really ready for consumers. One of the biggest problems we've run into is wifi, and I imagine 4g is the same. Before we release a product we exhaustively test wifi and other problem features. Digital Reins believes in "testing it in-line." In other words, you're the tester.I recommend you return it if you can. It can't be fixed.

I don't know what configuration you have in your laptop. However, I can tell you that you need to have Intel Wireless Display Technology (Intel WiDi) chipset in your laptop in order to make it work. Although my laptop has the chipset to use Netgear Push2TV, the quality is not acceptable. Therefore, I do not recommend to buy this product. After I purchased this product, it worked for few days. Slowly, the graphics became worst and annoying to clone my laptop to TV. I think it helps you to make the decision.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Quick question to all the video streamers: What resolution videos can you stream? 480, 720, 1080?Can a 802.11 Draft N router be used to stream 720p or 1080p videos? I have a camcorder that records 1080p video and I'd like to stream it wirelessly to my TV from my PC that stores all the videos.Thanks,

I tried win 7 profession and ubuntu, if the hd video is on the pc them it run fine, but if your streaming it won't play hd video well. I wanted just for streaming video from netflix, abc.com, nbc.com and youtube.com. Other than the OS and the browse there was no other intent purpose for it. if you going to use it for a web server this great but the video card on it is very poor, though, cpu is ok

Same problem here. Worked like a champ for about 2 weeks and now it is useless. Constantly dropping connections, I can't get any of my smartphones to connect, etc. I have tried everything, including the suggestions above as well as going back to the Classic only wireless option. I will certainly admit I have a lot of requirements: 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, a streaming media player, a network bridge, a network printer etc. but there has to be something out there that will work.
