Warpia StreamHD SWP120A Wireless HDMI @MissingRemote

[The Duke]

n the past year several companies have avoided the “media player” conversation instead opting to focus their efforts on wirelessly streaming their HDMI signal from their laptop directly to their HD televsisions. What Veebeam and Brite-View have done well, each with their own pros and cons, is now where Warpia is attempting to compete with their StreamHD SWP120A unit. Leveraging your existing system for multi-function usage--as a personal computer and also as part time home theater PC (HTPC) duties--is the proposition the StreamHD offers, and at a cost of just under $140 it is priced directly between the lower priced Veebeam and higher Brite-View.

Have not read the review yet, as a blurb reader, gotta wonder....

Is a laptop really a machine you want acting as server duties for your network? Wouldnt you rather just put your netflix account straight onto a mediaplayer or HTPC and call it a day?

Quick price check shows $140 dollars. More than your average mediaplayer that comes without an HDD. Of course HDD prices are LOW LOW LOW right now.. so adding a TB of data would be very cheap and only exceed the nonHDD media player by a few bucks.

Pretty sure people converting BDROMS are not using a laptop to do it...so of conversion, streaming or not at all. I vote streaming and those media players are cheaper.
