I have all kinds of wires and cables coming out of my HDTV. It is messy, sloppy, and inconvenient. And, I want to stream more items than were currently possible.
Enjoy Brilliant HD Without the Wires:
MyWirelessTV 2 replaces messy HDMI cables with the convenience of wireless, so you can install an HDTV anywhere you want. Now it’s possible to connect your television to your set top box without having to use an obtrusive cable. You get the flexibility to network your home exactly how you want to, without investing in an expensive wiring project, or string wires throughout your hallways.
This is perfect if your TV is on the wall and you do not want wires showing. This is also perfect for those with a house who want to be able to view outside where there is not usually a TV connection, without running wires and cable from inside the house!
We needed this desperately for our Blu-ray player. It is shoved in behind our TV on top of our cable box.
Can you see the Sony device shoved back there? It makes it quite difficult to even insert a Blu-ray disc into the device! But with the MyWirelessTV2 Wireless Video Transmitter and Receiver from Actiontec, we were able to move the Blu-ray player next to our bed. It is now hooked up wirelessly to the TV so it does not need to be within 2 feet of the TV, and we can actually put discs into the device!
We had room on our end table for the Blu-ray player, and now that we have it connected via our new Actiontec device, we can actually play Blu-rays without a ridiculous juggling act while pulling it out from behind the TV.
I recommend this device to everyone, it is great for all of the above mentioned reasons, streaming from other devices, viewing TV outside, and saving the trouble of running messy looking cables!
Wireless Display for Travelers: Realize the full power of your existing phone, tablet or laptop:
ScreenBeam Mini2 wireless display receiver gives you the power to wirelessly mirror anything from your phone or tablet onto your HDTV: video & audio, pictures, apps, presentations, and much more. Use ScreenBeam Mini2 to share virtually any local or online content. Beam movies, videos, music, games, applications, presentations, documents and more. Enjoy better quality with a dedicated wireless connection directly to your HDTV! You don’t need an existing Wi-Fi network or wireless router for ScreenBeam Mini2 to work.
Anything I can get on my laptop, I can get on my TV. Anything. Once connected, and it was extremely simple to set-up the connection, my TV screen becomes a secondary computer screen. Wouldn’t it be fun to do a word document on your TV! Set-up took a minute:
We used this to stream from our computers! I have RCN cable, which is a less expensive option to other cable providers, and of course I get what I pay for. Adding my laptop into the mix has now given me more options. I have 11 movies on my Disney Movies Anywhere (which is linked to all my HD streamable movies) and was never able to use this with my TV, only my tablets and computers. That has now changed! With my ScreenBeam Mini 2 Wireless Display Receiver from Actiontec I can now stream from my laptop onto my HDTV. In fact, I can stream anything that the computer can get, this is my favorite feature! I did not have this type of option on my TV which only added Netflix and YouTube recently. Now I can stream everything onto my TV!
This is a great product for everyone who wants to be able to use their TV as a computer. My TV has YouTube, but it does not have Vimeo. No problem! I can stream anything from my laptop computer onto my TV. We are enjoying this immensely! Especially viewing our pictures on the TV! One note, this is not for IOS devices. All of my desktops and laptops use Windows so this was perfect for us, it also works with Android.

I am always interested in finding out about alternatives to cable and this looks like one that I may have to investigate further for my home.

I hate cables. My husband has snaked some through the wall but this sounds like a better solution. And it means I get more toys to play with!
Alicia Taylor says
If I could get rid of all the cables we have (my husband is a tech guru), I would be so happy. They are a decorating eyesore! I’ll be checking into this.
Kristi says
I am going to show this to my husband… the darn cords are going to drive my crazy. If I show him this… perhaps it can be put on the top of the honey do list.
Michele says
Getting rid of cables would be amazing! I know when we rearranged it was a pain to make sure all the cords were in the right spot.
Rosey says
Hurrah for eliminating the juggling act. This is something I would definitely be interested in purchasing for our home!
