For AirPlay not enough

For AirPlay not enough

Fire TV Stick (Electronics)

Customer Review

I bought the stick as a cheaper alternative to the Apple TV because it was said that one could AirPlay Mirroring do with it - with an app called AirReceiver. The smiled at me then also on my TV after commissioning in the Amazon App Store the stick counter. If that was not a standard recommendation: Kudos, Amazon, this targeted marketing.

But now comes the "but": While it worked right away on all devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone 4s, iPad Air), but it's just a little too slow. A football match in any case could not enjoy it so liquid.

The stick itself does excellent by the way, to set up the sticks I would describe as absolutely exemplary. The only thing that is worthy of a point deduction this bizarre power that works really very unhappy solved.

For Amazon Prime and advertised here Apps of stick is a good thing to make TV truly "smart". For Mac users who are looking for an affordable AirPlay possibility of stick at the moment is not suitable.

The experimental setup, which was not successful enough, is this:
Was 15 "MacBook Pro with Retina Display (Late 2013) with AirPlay Mirroring via a TP-Link TL-WR841N wireless router (300 Mbps) to the present in the adjacent room Fire TV Stick with the app AirReceiver. Wireless reception than on both devices "Good". A wall in between, which is however quite WLAN unfavorable. However, as a XBOX One clean streams in the same room Full HD, I'm sure that it's not the WLAN.

In the sense: Actually 4 stars (a point deduction for the strange stick cable PSU-splits), but for me personally then just only 3 stars.

Conclusion for me personally: at the wrong end saved. Then just yet 75 Euro for an Apple TV.
