Philips PTA01 WiFi dongle (Accessories)

Customer Review

Did I meet some reservations when I read the reviews here, bought the stick anyway and was naturally curious about what to expect.
Delivery and packaging of Amazon were perfect so I could two days later connect the drive to your TV and try. Here I had the first problem, because I could be described as in some reviews also not enter the key for the stick, as the B and C were selected at the input is not in large font, but only in small font. Oh great, I thought, now you have precisely the problems that have portrayed the other, trying on the Philips website to make smart to find a solution. Since I did not that I called the toll-free hotline of Philips and the problem was solved more quickly than expected. The not the stick, as some have written here, needs a software - Update, but the television. This is described on the website of Philips easy and one needs for his TV only the current software download version on a USB - stick shift, then put in the television and the rest goes by itself. Lo and behold, after that, I was able to immediately enter the required letter as B or C in large letters and the stick has the connection to the Router and Net TV immediately ran smoothly. Everything had to be done is the registration, you only need to follow a simple step on the television and it is finished.
So I can only say that the stick is not so bad and who is interested in such toys as the dongle to receive Net TV may, can really go wrong.

Wi-Fi MediaConnect is in my view not so bad, partially shown here, yes here also have to fumble with security a bit, if you want to transfer a very special format from the computer to the TV and the speed will depend of course on the computer from. Do I have the latest Super Notebook par excellence, I will not notice any limitations in the transmission speed, I have not the newest notebook it is in the transmission such as movies quite restrictions. What many do not see is that you no Blue-Ray movie from the computer can be transferred to the television, as they are copy-protected and therefore not transferable. But images such as running the slide show with me without Superduperrechner without problems.

Hope was able to contribute a little to understand and I wish a lot of fun with the Gadjet dongle.
