I use my PS3 to stream my songs and videos to my HDTV. As stated, this unit has built in support for Windows Medial Connect, so once you enable this feature on the home server you will have access to all your medial files (songs, videos, pictures).

I stream to an HP MediaSmart TV and it works great. As an alternative, it will work with any Extender, like the XBox 360 or ones just announced at CES from Linksys, D-Link, or the new HP MediaSmart TV's.

You would need a Xbox 360 or something that supports Windows Media Connect media streaming protocol, using a digital media adapter (DMA). There are no video connections with this system.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

No TV made can decode HD bitstreams. Some receivers can, but it is irrelevant.Only computers can currently send deep color. It is not part of the spec in any of the old/new media.Having HDMI 1.3 is essentially useless on the TV.

The claims are somewhat confusing. I bought it with the intention to go VGA -> HDMI (laptop VGA out to an HDMI LCD TV). I returned it, assuming it was defective.Reading the bullet point use cases carefully, it appears they're selling it ONLY as a product that will go FROM an HDMI port into a VGA port. So you could, in theory, output your BluRay player to an old CRT.

Would you like me to send you a video of how to hook it up? Also what console are you connecting to? The booklet inside shows you how to hook everything up to your tv. You just have to make sure the cords are in the right color connections. I had an issue for the first couple of months where everything I was recording was in black and white until I realized You can't use HDMI cords to connect your system to the tv if you're recording. The whole HD labeling is misleading.

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

Hi Amazonadicto, video output will be from the HDMI connection. Which means that you can connect it on a TV with HDMI, and can create a live view on the TV while doing a recording. -Ely

Veebeam transmits whatever is showing on your PC or laptop screen to the TV it's attached to. Your results will surely be better with an HDMI cable rather than the traditional cables it comes with. I've successfully conducted seminars via GoToMeeting using my laptop and Veebeam. It plays the source presentation, including videos and animations.

There aren't many Tvs out three capable of turning 2D content to 3d. I didn't get a chance to put it in the original review but try this out for 3Dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtpjKednC7g&feature;=youtube_gdata_player. As for the sound, hdmi into port 1 only bring audio and video into the tv, you still need to run audio cables out to the receiver (red and white audio out located on the side of the tv. You've got to then go into the sound settings and turn off the internal speaker and switch the analog out setting to fixed. You're cable provider may offer free Ed content but short of a 3d bluray player, YouTube is the best place to find video. There aren't many Tvs out three capable of turning 2D content to 3d.

Sorry, I purchased the product thinking I could use it as a USB 2.0 cable adaptor, since the literature says it is backwards compatible, but the input is a USB 3.0 jack, so I have to get an adaptor for the cable I need to use. It is still in its packaging. My use will be very specific if I get it working and I doubt I will be using it for hdcp content. Hopefully Amazon will read this answer and ask someone else.

Is it trying to output 1080p HD? This adapter won't work with 1080p. I had to find this out the hard way. Plus, going through many adapters is not a good idea. I'd recommend buying just an HDMI to VGA adapter.

Can you use this product to stream video to your Monitor? -Yes. Connect this device to your monitor, open your preferred streaming app & video streaming works as well as your network connection will allow.But the way your question is phrased suggests you are thinking of this product incorrectly. Think of this Mini PC as a computer. You wouldn't connect one computer to another to stream video. You would just connect this to a monitor (second input on your current monitor) and use it as an Android PC.

I am not sure that you can. There are some streaming sites that are only set up for computer use, and maybe not for this player. The "channels" that you can get are already preprogramed on it, like Amazon Prime, Netflix and Vudu, along with many others. I would check on the Sony site for questions and their trouble shooting knowledge base for this player. I would also check the website that you are trying to stream and see if they have any information on if what you can stream it on.

No, you can't. I tried it from the apple TV to the HDTV, and noting was coming out. I also tried it with other combinations. Nothing. I Don't recommend this product. It was too late when I found out and I could no longer do a return. I ended up throwing it.

Nope. You need macTv. To my understanding it is your Mac not allowing the data to flow through properly. I may be wrong, but I have tried to play my mac on all if my TVs by setting up as an external monitor and it has never worked. Work around would be to create a 3rd party video, store it in the cloud and have your tv access that cloud service and watch from there. More hassle than its worth.
