    connect TV to wireless network

    I just got a Samsung UN55C6300. I also purchased the USB dongle so that I can connect the TV to my wireless network. So I found the menu to enter the network details and as soon as the TV registered on my network, my router crashed and I ended up having to do a factory reboot and set up the...

    Has anyone tried a wireless HD transmitter?

    Thanks Adam, I did see the review and thought that it was a bit pricey for what I needed. I get the impression that the Flow is a multimedia wireless device whereas I only need to stream content from my laptop. I didn't notice anything in the review or product specs about the audio...

    wireless HD vs cable HDMI

    Hi Guys, so I have recently moved into a new place and now need to either get a 60 ft HDMI cable to run through my receiver to connect my laptop to my HT or get a wireless HD receiver/transmitter.

    Laptop to Pioneer VSX-1020 via HDMI

    I realised that you have to treat the TV as a monitor and as such change display preferences to extend the desktop onto the TV. Basically think of the HDMI cable as a monitor cable with sound!!

    Laptop to Pioneer VSX-1020 via HDMI

    So in my device manager I have the following entries: Display Adaptors > mobile intel(R) 4 series express chipset family Sound, Video and game controllers > HD Audio device > Intel(R) HD Audio HDMI Does this mean I can only get sound through a HDMI cable from my laptop?

    Laptop to Pioneer VSX-1020 via HDMI

    Hi Guys, What can I actually feed through my receiver from my laptop via a cat 2 HDMI with ethernet cable? Is it sound alone? Can I extend my laptop screen to the TV via the receiver? Haven't considered this connection option before so don't know much about it. My receiver manual has...

    mirage mx 5.1 surround system - any opinions?

    Hi, I am upgrading my HT system and I'm considering the Mirage MX 5.1 surround sound system. Possibly to go with a Pioneer VSX-1020k. What do you think of this set up? The room is not large so the small speakers should be adequate. Thanks
