reliable enough -- depends really on your data pipe. 4G works well, 3G is spotty. It uses their app and their service although you can stream from their app directly to your facebook account.

There is an app only for MAC and Driod. Not reliabe in remote areas with no wireless

I didn't experience the setup problems you did, nor did I experience the stuttering. So I guess the answer to your question is that things must have improved. After more testing after my initial review, I did encounter a few negatives: I did hear the noisy fan (I didn't notice initially since it was in a room I don't often visit). When trying to play the streams on my MacBook laptop using Safari, I did get stuttering, but that isn't my primary use case. And when playing on Roku, the video quality isn't as good as, say, the same shows streaming from Hulu. But I would expect that since Hulu isn't streaming live and can devote more horsepower to encoding the streams. On an iPad, however, the streams look great! Also, I've recently had a chance to try streaming from Simple.TV to ChromeCast. Similar issues with video quality not being as good as live TV, but quality was the same as on Roku. I actually prefer viewing on ChromeCast vs. Roku, but that's my personal preference. Overall, I'm quite happy with the device. Is it perfect? No. But it seems that it is getting incrementally better with each software update.

I have seen a few videos from network sites, however it uses to crash after a period of time, depending on the quality of the video images. never tried the Hulu app, however all video streaming apps that I tried, seems not work on the device (e.g. netflix)

To the best of my knowledge, the stream goes directly to Ustream or other named content streamer ie Livestream for my purposes. We've used this numerous time to stream through Livestream which ran with only about a 2 second delay from camera shot to web viewing

I've never had any trouble with streaming. I love the 8in screen size, too.

Sorry, no streaming content I find other than BD Live. You'll need Roku or other compatible device (get the wireless hd roku if you want to move it around the house (room to room) with you, roku seems to work well for me but you do need good internet connection.

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

no streaming with this device. i have Android JB and a Samsung phone and can only do basic functions. would not purchase this device cK3000 again! Parrot originally claimed that the device was the problem.

My experience with it is that you get to store it on your own computer. Despite the name "cloud", I think that it only provides access to the live stream and not archival.

The streaming is awesome. It will stream everything and anything coming from the phone. Not sure on the sd card. I have only tried once and it didn't work. I was trying to view pics. My biggest com ain't is that there are no voice controls like "call so and so" and automatically dial.

Not sure what you are really asking. this is tied to live stream.com. Create an account and you can create events. Pretty easy. If you want a continuous channel, the account really serves as that.

To my knowledge if there is not an app for what you want to see this tv will not stream it. I tried to stream ESPN3 and because the tv has no memory I couldn't download Adode player and could not stream it.

Startup is pretty quick. Remember, the chromebox can only play thru a web browser. I would be hesitant to stream something that requires a ton of resources.

Jim, could you send me a link to where you read this information? I checked Sony's website and could not find anything mentioning netflix streaming on this device. Thanks -

The stream is always relayed through the cervevo servers, the lag between live and when the image appears on your Ustream channel is between 5 - 10 seconds in the US using the wifi connection. Not bad at all for me.
