So how does the game streaming work exactly? I'm looking for a solution that would allow me to play my PC games on my TV. (The PC and the TV are in seperate rooms and it's a pain to move the PC from the office each time I want to play.) I'd also prefer...

It has been 1 year since your question, but I felt it necessary to post that Scott Beeson, the previous poster to answer your question, is wrong. The NVIDIA Shield is designed to do exactly what you described.

Well since you're a Netgear employee, why does my adaptor work flawlessly with my computer and won't even let my ps3 or xbox connect to the internet? A little off-subject but your time is appreciated.

Get a PC with at least an HDMI connector and an i3 or Processor minimum and you should be ok with these two as the rest of the hardware should be fast enough HDMI connector is required for streaming to a HDTV via HDMI cable your pc should be able to stream no problem

Akumar, were you successful? I too have an Apex TV and a laptop PC I want to work together. I can't wait to cancel my cable subscription, and watch programs from the internet on my TV. Which cable did the trick. Any advice? -Audrey

How do you stream from the PC to the Roku? I have the XR box and would like to know how to do this.

This device was just partnered by OnLive. You can now stream PC games to it from either the OnLive service, or your Steam library. Not all games are supported but the streaming service is still new.

If you like Android gaming or emulation it's still worth it. I can use the streaming feature, but I personally use it to play Android and emulated games more than streaming from my PC.

You can play the android games offline but not the windows games. As far as steam goes, on your pc make sure you meet the minimum requirements to stream if it does you can add almost any program from your pc, including steam, to the unsupported games and stream to the Shield.

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.

Google TV just offers an interface similar to Android. You can browse the internet (via Chrome, of course), download apps, and hopefully a lot more with each successive update. The app store is still fairly limited (especially 'free' apps), but there are definitely some nice ones out there if you're willing to pay. Also, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you can easily stream the 'rented' videos right on your TV (depending on your internet connection, as I noticed a fairly considerable drop in quality when streaming on the TV compared to streaming on my laptop and connecting via HDMI. YMMV). Some other nice benefits are being able to 'fling' webpages between your computer and TV, so you can do the browsing on the laptop and just fling to the TV when you found what you're looking for. You can also download the chromemote (sp) and use your laptop as a remote control for the TV. Overall I wouldn't break the bank to pay for Google TV, but it's a very nice addition if the prices/specs are comparable otherwise.

Umm i am answering my own question after researching the issue in the hope that it would help others who might have the same question. Good news folks - this device works with playon (http://www.playon.tv/playon) as also with Tvarsity. So basically you can either use your hard disk shares directly to stream media, or use a DLNA compliant server like playon or tvarsity to stream media as well as youtube, hulu, netflix etc - sweet. The patriot user forum even has postings to help you configure playon or tvarsity.

What is required to set up the connection to stream Netflix movies directly to my TV? I have a BlueRay player connected to the TV. Can the movies be downloaded through the BlueRay player, as indicated in one of the previous messages? If so, how do you set this up? I am a Time Warner cable customer and I get TV, internet and phone through them.

I've been wondering the same thing, only I have Windows XP Media Center. I'd like to be able to DVR shows on the PC and watch them on my regular TV. I'm starting to think I should just have a dedicated PC for the TV.

I have my ps3 connected via ethernet so i can race and watch netflix and others i havnt tried playing on the computer it self but the game plays great on the tv via ethernet tried the netflix on the computer and it drags or picture stops while the person is still talking but that might be from the internet speed being used im only at 12mpb so if your at say 20 or 40 mpb that may work out better but i can watch full youtube movies and full youtube band concerts and works fine for that , dont know if that helps you or not

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.
