Post by: bjs229 on October 24, 2012, 01:52:52 PM: It is possible to do now. I know I read somewhere that there are several methods. Apple tv being one. WINDOWS media player and allowing remote control and an app also comes to mind. I will search for the info.

I believe you are correct but I think your components need to be able to use the new technology.

Post by: bjs229 on November 08, 2012, 01:42:44 AM: When can we get these receivers? I know I saw something about a dongle hookup? I heard something about tvs already having the technology built in.

Thanks for birdman.

Post by: birdastrompgman on November 12, 2012, 11:16:39 PM: I take that back. Reading the details, and doing more searching, the existing wireless adapters seem to be for an Intel protocol, not Miracast.
