Then, I looked at the specs and realized, it is NOT a stand-alone devise like the Apple-TV and Roku. It is nothing more than a Bluetooth receiver with an HDMI interface and, requires the use of a special app on a smart phone or tablet. I suppose if you have an extra tablet/phone you don't need and can leave it set up near your TV to act as the streaming devise, it could be useful.<div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Dec 12, 2013, at 4:55 PM, Chris Fowler <<a href="mailto:cfowler@outpostsentinel.com">cfowler@outpostsentinel.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">
