I've never enabled miracast, but I've seen it in the menu. I don't know what you mean by making tv windows certified.

Windows 8 does not have Windows Media Center, which is the app you need for any tv tuner. I had purchased a new computer with Win8 and I sent it back and fixed my old one with Win7 so I could continue to use my tuner.

In Miracast mode it will create a WiFi direct connection with the device you want to mirror from (Android phone or tablet), in this respect it is different than Chromecast. However that ties up the host device and many even newer Android devices can't do Miracast. It also supports DLNA, airplay or the EZcast app which works on most devices (but don't have a true mirror mode, only Miracast is true mirror mode).

Yup...that's why I returned it. I got the FireTVstick instead and I LOVE IT! It's so much more than just a miracast adapter.

U can't really do anything w/ it. I gave it away becuase it refuses to downloaded even approved software and freezes and glitches out anytime your doing anything on it for more then a few minutes. I just bought it to use as a remote 4 chromecast and it cldnt even do that

I have not. Only windows 7 64bit. Since my tv provider updated to digital I have not been able to get any channels using this device (as of 11 months ago) and it has been put in a box and forgotten

I had no problems with my TV conctar Philips wifi was quick and easy. Enter configure wireless connection, put the name and password of the router, then reset the router and now. You must have a router with a high capacity mbps

I have used one successfully and I'm guessing you could also use a Google Chromecast to access programing available through the Chromecast and your tablet or smart phone. On its own the TV is not a "smart" TV and cannot access internet programming

I have the same. There wasn't anything I needed. It pretty much works or it doesn't. I work in IT and have tested about 10 different devices with the Asus device. The Samsung Note tablet does not work with this. There may be a patch coming out soon, but for now I can't make it work. Most Android devices I have tested work, most tablets and Surface devices work. iPad's don't work, but they don't support Miracast. If you have the exact model, it may be that I've tested it already. Just let me know.

Sorry for the late response, but no it comes only with the miracast box with a power cord. You will need an HDMI cable, a usb isn't needed. Hope that helps!

Miracast uses wifi, but it's a peer-to-peer connection, in this case between this dongle and your phone/tablet/computer. You do not have to be on a wireless network in order for the devices to connect.

ASUS sells a device called Miracast Dongle which plugs into your TV's HDMI port. You can then stream from your tablet to your TV.

Currently the second gen Simple.tv can use Chromecast, not the first. They say that are working on the first gen. Nothing yet.

Well......... have to say "What installation" 8-) That is how easy it was to get up and running... Plugged in the dongle, plugged in the USB power supply cord, told the TV "source" menu I wanted to use that HDMI port it was plugged into, a menu from Miracast popped up and let me do a few quick settings between TV and phone. BAM! there was my S4 screen on the TV

i got this off the internet/ I searched for hours on how to correctly program this remote to work with my TV and after messing around with it in frustration I found the correct way to program it to your TV. First, have your Genie Mini receiver connected and powered on. Next, grab your RC71 remote and simultaneously hold the "MUTE" + "ENTER" buttons until you see a box appear on your TV screen that says "Applying IR/RF Setup. Please Wait" (this appears after about 5 seconds of holding those buttons). Once complete another dialog box will appear and read, "Your remote is now setup for RF." Click "SELECT" to exit that screen. Next, click the "MENU" button, scroll down to "Settings & Help", then click on "Settings", scroll down to and click on "Remote Control", then click "Program Remote". Next you will have two options, either "Program TV" or "Program Audio Device". Click "Program TV", this takes you to a screen where you need to select what BRAND your TV is. After you have selected your TV brand you will have to select the TV Model ( I recommend looking at the sticker on the back of your TV for the accurate Model number or using your current TV remote to find the model number from the menu screen on your TV for fastest and best results). Once the correct model number is selected, AIM your RC71 remote at the TV and it will AUTOMATICALLY program!

I use media center to interface with the direct TV receiver. If that is still a part of Win 8, it should work just the same.

Hi Mark, I have tried to connect the transmitter to the audio output from my flatscreen and sending the Sound to wireless speakers. The setup was easy, but i felt the audio was slightly out of sync with the movements on the screen. I dont know quite what to say. It was not convincing!
