Can I plug this into my PC and stream video to my PC screen? Thanks

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.

Hi Phil, It does not appear that you can. There is only an input/output port where you can plug in an AV wire to view your videos on a television, and also a USB pops out that you can plug into your computer so you can download and view your videos that way, but it only has battery capability from what I can tell. Hope this helps. ~Ann

It can be plugged directly into a TV/monitor with one of those yellow RCA composite video cables. I don't know about downloading video onto a PC as PCs generally don't take those composite video cables. I did find a cheap SD card based DVR that I'm going to try and hook it up to. BTW it's definitely not 500 megapixels, shoots quite grainy video but still a good deal for the price.

so will this work with any other tv for streaming movies from your computer?

only if your computer will allow you to change to tv output. just hooking this up won't do it by itself.

I used it to stream anything from my 2012 macbook air to any tv i tried. pc's don't usually come with this port. you need either hdmi or mini hdmi depending on the pc.

Ours is hooked up to our computer, thru hdmi cord. We watch netflix, hulu, you name it! Be sure your video card is substantial enough to run it.

If you mean run the signal through the computer, yes. But ,you have to use the monitor as the receiver then use the USB cable to divert the signal to the computer. Please ensure that you have downloaded the uniden software to allow it to play .

The shield will not do what you want. You can stream from your PC to the shield OR from your shield to a TV. You cannot do both simultaneously.

Hi Claudio, yes, this model is capable of USB streaming while connected to a PC via the USB cable. Thanks_Mitch

You can use your computer as a video streamer, connected either through an HDMI or VGA port on the TV. My MacBook works much better than my old PC for streaming. We added the Roku just to make it easier. However, it may not provide as much access to streaming as the computer does.

No it cannot be hooked directly to a PC; you will need a special adapter. It can be hooked to a VCR.

Yes. No problems. I stream directly onto the laptop and I also use it to stream to my TV via chromecast. Works like a charm.

Yes, you can. It has s-video, which isn't super high-quality, but my wife and I regularly use our laptop to watch netflix instant view and it's at least as good as over-the-air regular (non-HD) broadcasts. Check to make sure you have a laptop with an s-video port. My dell has one, but my friend's apple does not and I'm not sure all PC laptops have one. Sound will need to be split from headphone jack into RCA inputs, the cord is available at radio shack for around $7.

No but you can simply use one of the three HDMI inputs and use it with your PC.

Yes, you can plugin this into HDMI port on monitor and have it run like a normal computer. However the user interface might not be a PC friendly as the fonts and mouse pointer (its huge) are optimized for home theater PC. XBMC is pre-installed and you can install apps from Google App store as well.
