ahem check the specs page conan!
Stellar reviews over at the zon Eight 5-star Eight 4-star One 3star and One 3 star reviews.
**Philips SWW1890/27 Wireless HD Net Connect
$99.99 ** ($199.99 50% off List Price)
my refurb’d roku does this with playon for 50 bucks less. and i get a roku.
Has excellent reviews on Amazon - 4.3 out of 5 stars
If this only had AirPlay I would get this over Apple TV
you know, a month ago I got a computer that was able to handle video incredibly well. So I sprung for Hulu Plus two weeks ago.
And now, woot! is NEVER going to offer a Roku again, and it is all my fault.
I am sorry.

Seems right. am I missing something? Sorry, I’m half asleep, first day of school tomorrow for the students and have to wake up early.
Is there any reason that this would not work with any device with an HDMI out, not just PCs or laptops?

The manual was already included by woot 
(don’t worry it happens to me like three times a month)
This is great if you don’t have a HDMI cable and it only cost about $100 more to do what the HDMI cable does.Not to mention the AC power for the receiver and the extra wires hooking up the transmitter and receiver. Your choice $5 HDMI cable or $105 for “wireless”.
Wouldn’t this be great if it accepted inputs such as component video, TOSLINK/coax S/PDIF, composite, or s-video? If it did this without needing a receiver I’d be sold! Alas, specs say that only HDMI input is supported.

While there COULD exist some reason for it only to work on computers, I believe there is no such reason. After a quick look at the Amazon reviews, I found this review: “Philips promotes this product as a way to wirelessly connect your laptop to your TV but you can use it in replace of all your components that feed HDMI to your TV. We easily set it up and are now wirelessly beaming our Roku, DVD Player, and laptop to our HDTV.[…]”
So based off of that review, There should be no problem at all, even when using an hdmi splitter/switch. On a similar note, the later part of this same review concludes that the device is not meant to transfer the signal through walls. The reviewer put all those devices in a nearby closet and started having issues. So keep that in mind as well.

OH! I never read everything! I guess I’m in the wrong line of work!
Had to go over to http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SWW1890-27-Wireless-Connect/dp/B005GSYQ1A and check out the images to understand that the small thumbstick device is the TRANSMITTER which attaches to your PC/laptop, whereas the box is the RECEIVER and is what attaches to the TV. Would love it to be the other way around!

Why would you want to drag a huge box requiring external power around with your laptop? TV’s tend to be immobile, and the large box is better suited there.

Wha-wha-whaaat?!? No Roku to be offered by woot again? Sweet baby Jesus, NOOOOOO!!! (Granted, I have purchased 4 Roku players through woot already, but I was planning on stocking up, as they make great gifts and shuts up the recipient if said gift for weeks & weeks, as they don’t leave their houses for the first 2 weeks because they are so hooked on all the programming they have to watch! It was great!)
Are ya sure?
