Been looking for products that mirror or extend laptop display and sound to TV. This might be something like products from Warpia or Veebeam. However, I've found the product below from StarTech which is HDMI over IP - you plug one of your TV HDMI inputs into the box and the other end into your network, load the software on your PC or laptop (in my case) and you can display whatever is on your laptop including sound on your TV - no need for a smart TV, no need for any media player. I realise that a home network might not be able to handle HD video and surround sound across the IP network, but when you're watching YouTube or other similar stuff - am not too concerned about high-quality sound and 720 or less video would be OK.
My question is whether anyone knows anyone that's used this device - have only managed to find one review - which was positive. Ta.
