Wireless PC to TV - Comments Page 1

I have used X-10 video broadcasters & receivers for several and they work great. Even house to garage also have a PC transmitter just have not hooked it up yet,did try it to see if it would work on a small TV and it did fine.

What about the Apple TV. You have to use Itunes but it works fairly well also.

Bob, I certainly enjoy and value your informative columns. Thank you.

So... say my TV has a port to accept video from my PC, but I want to connect to THAT wirelessly. In other words, I need to receiver unit to have a VGA output, not RCA/S-Video.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If the wireless receiver doesn't have VGA output, you can probably buy an adapter.

Bob, thanks a lot for your articles. They are so very useful.

Bob, In a (near) future newsletter, can you get us up to speed on TVs that are coming out that are internet ready to where we don't need to use these wireless devices...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Already done! See http://askbobrankin.com/internet_connected_hdtvs.html

I use Apple TV with very good success, watching movies on my computer. It's wireless as well as Ethernet capable.

Hi Bob,
I don't think your article specifically answers my question, but apologies if it does.

I stream TV channels via the web to my system, which work well, but would like to wirelessly transmit these audio/video streams to my large screen TV directly. I don't think it's possible to record these streams to my system ( not coming through a TV tuner).Can this be done using any of the converters you mention, or should I be looking for some other solution?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Maybe I'm missing the point of your question, but I think that's exactly what the article is about -- sending whatever is on your PC screen, wirelessly, to your TV.

Hi Bob, Which of these devices works best with text? I want to display a website on an external LCD screen, and whilst the video/audio is fine, the text is completely illegible. Using MacBook pro with highest output display resolution setting. I'm using the FlyImage 3000, and all Internet research seems to agree that video is fine, but text is awful.

Any suggestions? Any wireless PC to TV products that can transmit DVI or HDMI quality signals? Thanks!

EDITOR'S NOTE: None that I know of, sorry. Have you tried a direct cabled connection from the PC's DVI/HDMI port to your TV?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, i have connected directly from laptop DVI (with VGA adaptor attached) to LCD VGA input, and quality is great.
I'm desperately looking for a wireless option though, and there just doesn't seem to be anything out there that can handle crisp text.
Please let me know if you stumble upon any suitable device.
Thanks for the assistance - much appreciated. - Adrian.
