Excellent gadget. Allows me to wirelessly send videos and pictures from my laptop, phone or IPad to my TV.

Very handy, as the 32 inch screen in the modelling room allows me to watch some cool YouTube videos, or show reference material in greater detail for my poor, ageing eyes! Also allows streaming of websites via Chrome, so Des's build-logs look even better in large scale, HD loveliness.

Dead easy to set up, all you need is a wi-fi router, that's it. Just plug it in to the HDMI socket of the TV & a USB socket to power it and off you go. You can even start a video streaming on your laptop, then shut it off and it carries on streaming. By magic. Amazing.

At £30, an utter bargain.

Highly recommended. I'm watching the Fighting Aircraft of WWI on the telly now via YouTube, whilst browsing this web-site.

I agree. I just got one of these recently and have been very impressed, really good piece of kit.
