The unit is simply an antenna designed for wifi signal. It sends and received signal which then runs thru computer to use. If you tv is internet ready already, the antenna is most likely built in. Sorry.

If your Samsung TV has built-in WiFi and is internet ready. Why, would you need this? you should be able to pick your WiFi signal thought your wireless router and connect your TV to it. The Edup Ep-ms8512 is a wireless adapter that has two uses. One, use it as WiFi booster to get better signal to a computer or laptop. Two, use as a wireless adapter when a laptop or computer desktop does not have a wireless card inside. I don't think it can be used to make a TV wireless because it's not supported for that. Hope this help.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.

To use this, the Hauppauge has to be connect to a Windows Media Center PC (Windows 7 is what I am using) with a USB cable. Then the PC output is connected to my TV with a HDMI cable. Wifi is not involved here at all in the connections. I do not even think my TV has Wifi. Can you send the TV signal from the PC to the TV via Wifi? I cannot answer that.

Yes I needed this to access my apps like netflix. Some of the Smart tvs may have built in wifi but as I said I needed this. Hope this helps.

If you have an HDMI connection on your HDTV, yes it works great. I have Netflix and hooked up my Asus Zen tablet to stream movies without any problems. Also, if you use a wireless mouse and keyboard, you can surf the net using the TV as the monitor.

A question: Will this device enable me to use Netflix streaming on my Toshiba HDTV? I have wireless internet in my home.

No, it is not wifi ready. An inexpensive (10$) USB receiver works fine.Yes, it has a sound card.

wifi lets you connect to online streaming services like netflix, hulu, or amazon prime. however, i would not recommend that you use this player. it shows a disconcerting tendency to lock up. a cheaper solution, and possibly a less frustrating one, would be to buy a blu-ray that has no connectivity to play your disks, and an amazon fire stick to stream your online media...

Sherman, I have not tried that. I can only say that it works but in my case (and others that I read) I needed to buy an USB extension cable because the TV shielded the wifi signal from my base station. Once I added the cable and dropped the dongle below the back of the screen its works fine. I bought it to be able to watch netflix without having to run a cable from my Kindle HD to the TV.

If your plasma has an audio output, you should not have any problems. It comes with earphones, an infra red box to plug into your TV, an AC adaptor, plus a charging plug to charge your headphones. Just make sure you are setup in front of the box.

The input comes from your WiFi network. The source is then controlled by an Android device or a PC. There is probably a way to run your TV audio into a PC then broadcast it to any of your Phorus devices. I actually want to try this to have my TV's audio play on my back porch, just haven't had time to try it yet.

Hello again Ronald! That would depend on the capabilities of your TV as not all TV's support network connectivity via HDMI. Do you have a active connection in this area? If so, I would suggest that you install a switch and hardwire your TV, Marantz surround receiver and any other devices you have to the network for maximum performance. We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp sales team 1.877.744.1179

No, the WiFi part is for incoming signals. The connection to the TV is through a cable such as HDMI.

I am not sure if Plasma TVs are different than LCD TVs, but I guess you would connect the headphone to them the same way. For my Samsung LCD TV it was relatively easy to connect the cable from the headset transmitter to the TV optical port (just unplug the plastic cap first from the optical cable).Also in most modern TVs, when you connect the headset transmitter, you can set the TV to direct the audio to the external device only (the headphones), so the volume level on your TV has no use (you may not even be able to change it).

Not sure about plasma but don't know why it wouldn't.It comes with an infra red device that picks up the signals from the TV and transmits them to the headphones. It works very well. We have 2 headsets so we can both watch and listen.We don't always need them but some British shows have audio issues so the head sets are necessary.

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.
