    Dave... The PTV is a mirroring device for WiDi(windows 8 computers and some windows 7...along with some android and windows phones). But, for now...it also doesn't work with MAC/Ipad/Ipod(I think??? I suppose Apple has jumped on the WiDi bandwagon...I hope) PTV does not have its own native...

    Dave... I've been reading along and it seems the "bloggers/reviewers" of this device don't understand stream vs mirror*. I stopped reading reviews for that reason. What the ChromeCast is...is this...
