Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
There's all sorts of video content available for download to your computer these days, in all sorts of formats. It makes perfect sense to watch downloaded video content on your 32" TV instead of your 15" laptop screen, but not many laptops give you a way of displaying the video output on a HDTV. This product tries to bridge that gap, and nearly succeeds.
You get two USB dongles in this kit, one for plugging in to your PC or laptop, and one for plugging into a little base unit (with a PSU) that has a HDMI (high definition video) output that you plug into your television using an HDMI cable that you need to buy separately (you need a television that has a spare HDMI socket as well, of course).
You install some software on your computer (the latest Windows 7 compatible version is available for download, so you don't actually need the enclosed CD at all), and you can then display anything you can see on your computer on your TV instead (or as well). The audio comes out of the TV too.
You have some choices - your TV appears as a new monitor, so you can extend or duplicate your desktop, or (in Windows 7) you can press <Windows>-P to make your TV work like a projector (this actually means that you switch between displays). Some programs (iTunes, for example) displays full-screen output on your primary display, so one way or another you need to make your TV your primary display.
The wireless connection is short-range, and doesn't work at all through walls.
The output is 720p, which is the lower of the two HDTV standards - fewer lines, therefore lower quality. The quality of the streaming using this device is very good, but it does require a reasonably powerful computer, and it's a bit of a CPU-hog. The wireless does not interfere with Wi-Fi frequencies, so you can watch BBC iPlayer direct to your TV via your computer, full-screen.
The one thing you don't want is technical glitches in the middle of a film. Unfortunately, I have been having problems with this kit. Occasionally the picture disappears for a second or two - and sometimes it reappears briefly on my laptop. This might be a result of wireless interference. More seriously, after about 40 minutes of viewing, the connection becomes unreliable - the wireless connection is lost completely. This may well be a result of overheating - the dongles do get very hot. I have also experienced corruptions on my laptop screen after this happened (thankfully, all was well after a reboot).
Although it's convenient having a few metres of air-gap between the computer and the TV, if having the whole thing wired would make it reliable, it would be worth the loss of convenience.
An alternative to this product - but only for unprotected, downloadable (not streaming) content is the Western Digital TV HD 1080P Media Player. It may not be perfect, but it does work reliably!

Okay, i'm a bit of a gadget nerd and have to have the latest odds and sods but i'm for once pretty darn pleased after a few weeks with this i'm still using it!!... I got it after seeing it on the gadget show and thought it would at least be useful for the lack of iplayer in the lounge. But it's been great for so much more, away on business with work, same old cak on the hotel tv. I had my episode of the wire on my laptop and normally watch them on flights... but a quick plus into the hotel TV's hdmi and away we go!!! Really happy. The next day at the meeting, plugged it into their projector and used it for my presentation.
The missus also can show photo's off from the thousands i stored away on a 360, once linked to the laptop to the external hard rive she can use the laptop and the Qwaves kit and show her mates on the telly in our lounge! For once i didn't get it in the neck for another gadget purchase.
But the one use i'm well chuffed about.... I have family abroad and use skype, and the difference of having them on the bigger screen makes it so much more intimate it feels like there with us rather than staring at just a laptop.
All in all, it's the first gadget in a while that is actually really useful for me and the missus and has more uses than I actually bought it for!

I purchased this kit about a week ago now and have just got it working. Its had its ups and downs with connecting to my main tv, it recognised it first time but now its a generic monitor. Apart from this i have got the extended screen running and can use the tv to watch films etc whilst i can still work on the laptop or pc.
Having problems with it just made me more determined to get it to work, i read that there was no support for windows 7 :( but looking on the q-waves website it was out at the end of November. After downloading and installing it sorted most of my problems. The problems that havent been sorted are being looked into, like why cant it recognise my tv for what it is, HDMI sound etc. BUT the support is amazing! i was getting emails at 9pm on a Sunday night from a tech guy on the case. If that isnt something special i dont know what is.
Thats the reason im giving it 5 stars, the support is there so it will get sorted, for now it works anyway so im happy with it. I would definetly tell friends and family to buy this if they store alot of media on their computers. All in all im very happy with the product, not quite easy enough for me to get out the box and set up to use straight the way, but well worth it when i got it working.

line of sight limit
the product is very good. the only downside is the limited range - about 12 feet - and if there is an object in the line between transmitter and receiver it cuts off.
