(More customer reviews)I've already owned a Brite-View BV-5005HD "CinemaTube" 3-in-1 1080p Full HD Multimedia Player/Streamer/Torrent Downloader, Black from brite-View. When I checked its website, I found there's an accessory : A dedicated USB wifi dongle that I can connect my CinemaTube on the network wirelessly.I've tried streaming videos from my NAS with built-in wired connection (an Ethernet cable is included in the package, which is a plus!) and the performance is great.With another $ 25 with free shipping of the USB wifi dongle, I think I can give it a try!
Before I made the purchase, I did check the streaming performance report over wifi in brite-view's website, it says pretty much all 720p videos are OK, but 1080i / 1080p you will experience serious lag. I think this is reasonable due to the broadcasting natural of wifi networking and most of my videos are in 720p / 480p. It came with a bubble envelope.I just plugs it to the CinemaTube and no driver needed the CinemaTube can work with it plug-n-play.It found APs easily (it's 802.11n, compatible with my Linksys 802.11n wireless router), even some of my neighbors and with on screen keyboard, I can key in password without any effort.The streaming quality just like it says on website, 720p videos are good enough without any lag.To my surprise, some of my 1080p videos can be streaming without lag too. But when it comes to higher max bitrate, yeah, it failed to stream 1080p videos and you will experience lag.But I'm aware of this limitation and I have no complains about it.
If you want to wirelessly stream your videos (of course 720p / 480p) from your computers or NAS to TV via a media player, I will recommend the CinemaTube with its USB wifi dongle.The benefit of selling them separately is that I can use the USB wifi dongle in my PCs if necessary.
*** a video update on Feb 22 to show the new UI of CinemaTube and how it works with the USB wifi dongle... the movie is 1080P@23fps
