Review: Review based on use with Kindle Fire HDX. Detailed to help anyone with possible Technical Issues. - *I apologize for the length of this review, yet due to my own experience, I believe a little more detail was necessary. At first, I was ready to low rate this product too, so I wonder if possibly some of the lower ratings are not deserved. Thank You* *I specifically bought this for use with my Kindle Fire HDX and nothing else, so I cannot review, with regards to, how well it works with any other tablet, notebook, or phone. This review is solely based on my experience using it with a Kindle HDX alone.* The LED TV's we have are not "smart," which is how I prefer them, and so was unable to take advantage of the 'Second Screen' function on my Kindle HDX. However, I was really curious about being able to mirror to the TV, and desertcart's info page about mirroring led me to this, as an alternative. Additionally, there are people in the family who are hard-of-hearing, and currently, many of the desertcart Prime movies played through our smart Bluray player do not have Closed Captioning available. So what does that have to do with a Kindle HDX and the PTV3000? Well, as I had no desire to go deaf trying to watch a movie with the sound so loud it shakes the paint from the walls, something else was needed. Pretty much everything I watched on the Kindle directly had CC available, so an idea surged past the dense layers of my skull, which was a feat in itself. I could just mirror the Kindle and have CC at the touch of a button when needed. The box arrived and I happily opened it up to see the tiny PTV3000 staring back at me. After I got done running and yelling "It is Possessed!" I opened it up and saw this very small and very thin little black box along with a USB cable and the instructions. Going against my guy instincts about hooking everything up and asking why it does not work first, I read them and went about it slowly. Hooking it up was easy. USB cable into the TV for power and an HDMI cable which you have to buy separate. It says to update the firmware, which I did, yet the instructions can be a little unclear (at least to me) and I was sure this "stupid thing was a waste of money and didn't work." Make sure you have your Kindle HDX with you, because you need it to do the update. Because I see quite a few lesser reviews, I am including the process explained as simply as possible to help anyone who may have had a similar issue. Your Kindle will need to be connected to your home WiFi network to do this. Step 1. On your Kindle, open silk and go to the Netgear website listed in step 1 on the second page of the PTV3000 instruction booklet. This is the page you want to be on: [...] Step 2. In the search field type "ptv3000" and it will bring up a list with all different versions. Step 3. The version at the top is normally the newest, click on it and it will start downloading to your Kindle. When it is done downloading you can go to step 4 below. (I know some people say you need a laptop to do the download, but I did it all from my Kindle HDX.) Step 4. Press and hold the button on the PTV3000 for 7 seconds (I think the little light on it flashes, sorry I cannot clearly remember). Step 5. On your Kindle, go to "Settings then down to "Wireless" and you will see a Push2TV network available. Connect to it. Step 6. Get back to the home page on your Kindle and open the Silk Browser again. Step 7. In the address bar type the address shown on page 2 of the little instruction book for the PTV3000. Cannot find the booklet, but looks something like //111.111.1.1 Step 8. Upload the firmware and install it. This is where I believe the instruction book pretty much stops. The TV shows ready to connect and "this stupid PTV little box was not connecting...piece of junk, does not work, sending it back. I connected it just like it said to the WiFi Push2TV network and nothing." Before hurling the adorable, but now upsetting me, box at the wall, I took a breath, stepped back and thought about what I did wrong. Nope, followed all the instructions, and nothing...screen saying ready to connect staring back at me and no Push2TV WIFI network connecting...and nothing. I decided to do a search on the web for answers, and since the computer was upstairs, and I had the Kindle with me, I would just use it. So, I RE-CONNECTED to my home Wi-Fi network and then proceeded to let out a long sigh and shook my head murmuring "you idiot" to myself. I was trying to mirror the Kindle by connecting to the Push2TV WIFI network and that is JUST used to update the firmware. The Push2TV WIFI network is you connecting the Kindle and the PTV3000 box and is ONLY used to update the firmware NOT to mirror. Yes, the instructions were kind of meh regarding this possiblity, but it was not the product not working. Step 9. If you have not done so, reconnect your Kindle to your home WiFi network. Step 10. Look back at the TV which should have the PTV3000 screen saying "Ready To Connect" and give it a smile. If you don't see that screen, make sure your PTV is plugged into an outlet, or the USB connection on your TV or A/V receiver, and that the HDMI cable is connected and your screen is switched to the right input Step 11. On your Kindle HDX, go to Settings>Display & Sounds>Display Mirroring. Step 12. Let it search and when PTV3000 shows up, just click on it and let it connect. TV screen will show connecting and, once connected, your Kindle will be mirrored onto your TV. Step 13. When you are done mirroring, make sure to go back into your Kindle settings and hit "Stop Mirroring." All that being said, how does it work? I have had this for about two months now and have used it on multiple TV's and even through an A/V Receiver. It is used 3-4 times a week with an average of 2 hours each time. The longest continuous use was a 6 hour Game of Thrones marathon. It has worked and performed beautifully every time. The TV's I have are 720p and 1080p and the picture looks perfect, just as good as anything incoming from the cablebox HD or SD and just as good as it does on the Kindle screen. The sound is also sent through the PTV3000 to the TV and/or receiver...yay HDMI and no different from the sound on cable. In fact, I use this on a TV in one room specifically because there is no cable box and mirroring the Kindle is how it gets cable (android app our cable company offers) and movies from desertcart Prime. When you first start a movie, there may be some slight pixelation, but I have never had it last more than a few seconds and then the picture clears up instantly. Due to the 3 star average on this item, I went back and forth for a long time on whether to purchase it. I wrote this review to, hopefully, help others who may have similar feelings, may have returned it and now see they might have done what I did initially. This is not a $10 product that people may see some meh reviews, and still go ahead and order because the money risk is low, this is a little bit bigger investment. For me, this PTV3000 has been one of the best purchases I have made on desertcart. It opened new possibilities for my Kindle and saves me money on renting another cable box. I love this product and I really do feel it deserves much higher average ratings than it has received. At the very least, anyone who was directed to this for their Kindle HDX because it is certified for it. If you really want to mirror your Kindle HDX and have been on the fence due to the reviews, please try it. I do highly recommend it and I am still amazed to this day at how gorgeous the picture remains using this little box. And by the way, it does put the CC on the TV with Prime. .
Review: This review is written for anyone having technical issues setting this up. - I am taking the time to write an in depth review of this product, the Netgear PTV3000 Push2TV Wireless Display Adapter. I ordered this unit from desertcart and just received it yesterday. The first thing that you need to know about this device is that it does indeed work. There are however a few things that you need to know in order to get it up and running and also to optimize its performance once that has happened. I have my PTV3000 plugged into my Sony Bravia HDTV via an HDMI cable in the back along with a USB cable plugged into the back of the TV as its power source. No need to take up another outlet so it is best to use a spare USB jack on your TV if you have one available. After you have plugged the PTV3000 unit in to your TV the next step is to open the Intel WiDi software program on your PC or Laptop computer. I am using a Sony Vaio Laptop to run the Intel WiDi software. Once you have opened the WiDi software you can enable the software to scan for the PTV3000. If it finds it then simply click on "connect" and wait a few moments and see if it establishes a connection with the PTV3000. When I first tried this I was not able to establish a connection to my PTV3000 unit after trying to get it to connect via the Intel WiDi software about 20 times. Here is what I would recommend that everyone who buys the PTV3000 do FIRST!! Update/download the latest firmware for the PTV3000 via the Netgear web site. The instructions for doing this are included in the brief manual that comes with the PTV3000. After you have done that I would suggest that you also update the driver/software for the Intel WiDi program on whatever PC or laptop you will be using to send content to your TV. The Sony laptop that I recently bought had an older version of the Intel WiDi software on it and after I downloaded the update for the software, which was 265MB by the way, I was able to connect to the PTV3000 via my Laptop with no problems. Now, here is something that Netgear does not mention in the user manual. The PTV3000 works best when you have your source, laptop, PC etc..., as close to the PTV3000 as possible. I would suggest keeping your source no more than 20 feet away from the PTV3000 for best results. The second tip that I can share with you is to stand the PTV3000 end on end like a book sitting on a shelf so that the top of the unit faces the direction of your laptop/source. After much trial and error I determined that the antenna inside the PTV3000 is located on the top of the PTV3000 so by standing it end on end and pointing it towards your source you will get a much stronger signal as opposed to setting the PTV3000 flat. One thing you will notice is that if you walk between your source and the PTV3000 that the audio will sputter and cut out briefly. This ties in with my theory that the PTV3000 likes to have a direct line of sight to your source in order to deliver the best picture with no buffering or glitches. I had originally placed my laptop about 10 feet away from the PTV300 and after I discovered that the antenna was located in the top of the PTV3000 and stood it up end on end and pointed it towards my laptop I was actually able to have my laptop about 24 feet away and it worked perfectly. Most of the stuff that I have shared was nowhere to be found in the manual. I learned from trial and error and hopefully this review will help those of you so that you can save some time and follow my advice so that you can be up and running in no time. Overall the picture and sound quality that the PTV3000 delivers is excellent. The night before I received the PTV3000 I hooked up my laptop to my TV via an HDMI cable and I can honestly say that the picture and sound quality that I was able to get using the PTV3000 was the same as if I was using an HDMI cable. If you follow my advice I feel confident that you will be pleased with the Netgear PTV3000.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I purchased this device w/out thinking it thru. My Kindle Fire HDX has only one wireless connection, how do I mirror and stream from the internet?**
A: My push2tv claimed to have firmware 2.4.3 out of the box.  My HDX saw the device, but connecting timed out.  I had to "upgrade" the firmware to 2.4.19 for it to work.  I haven't tried 2.4.26 (the latest available on the Netgear web site, which makes the 2.4.3 claim suspicious).

**Q: Where can I find the latest firmware for Netgear PTV3000?**
A: Go to http://downloadcenter.netgear.com/en/product/ptv3000/ and search for software/firmware only.  Choose the first driver at the top of the search results - this will be the latest firmware.  Currently it's 2.4.26, released 11/4/2013.

**Q: My new KindleFire HDX and downloading firmware???  Have very old computer will not download firmware on it !!! JUST want to use this device on my Kindle FIRE HDX NOT computer will Kindle work without the new firmware Thanks DADANDDAD**
A: Hello I have Nokia Lumina 2520 with window RT 8.1 operating system, believe in order for it to work I have download WI display app and it cost money for the app, does anyone know if this the correct app? it seem odd to have to pay so much for the unit and then pay for the app to use it.. not sure if this is the one to buy, have tried a different maracas device and found out there was no app for my tablet. does anyone have any insight

**Q: Can anyone confirm compatibility: Windows 8.1, AMD A10-575m, AMD Radeon HD8750m ; also using LG G2 V:4.4.2. AMD says it supports PTV3000 but...?**
A: That's the way I understand it. AMD supports Miracast as long as you are in Windows 8.1, which you are. I don't think the AMD Support site would add PTV3000 on the list of supported devices if it didn't work.

This ties in with my theory that the PTV3000 likes to have a direct line of sight to your source in order to deliver the best picture with no buffering or glitches. I had originally placed my laptop about 10 feet away from the PTV300 and after I discovered that the antenna was located in the top of the PTV3000 and stood it up end on end and pointed it towards my laptop I was actually able to have my laptop about 24 feet away and it worked perfectly. Most of the stuff that I have shared was nowhere to be found in the manual. I learned from trial and error and hopefully this review will help those of you so that you can save some time and follow my advice so that you can be up and running in no time. Overall the picture and sound quality that the PTV3000 delivers is excellent. The night before I received the PTV3000 I hooked up my laptop to my TV via an HDMI cable and I can honestly say that the picture and sound quality that I was able to get using the PTV3000 was the same as if I was using an HDMI cable. If you follow my advice I feel confident that you will be pleased with the Netgear PTV3000.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine out of the box without software update. Works with Samsung Galaxy S4
*by A***R on May 6, 2013*

Works fine out of the box with firmware 2.2.12 which came installed. Was up and running in a few mins without bothering to read the instructions or doing any software update. Works with my Samsung Galaxy S4 and Dell laptop (with WiDi) and Samsung galaxy S3 as shown in the youtube video links below. There is negligible lag as shown in my other youtube video link. (got delivery on saturday 4may2013 but amazon orders seem to think it was delivered a few days earlier on wednesday for some reason) Videos Full HD are fine but sometimes can be choppy as can be the audio sometimes. Photos, presentations and everything on the phone screen is mirrored. I am pleased with the product itself but not netgear (email USA support or web chat or uk phone line). The product is great as is the team that made it and makes the updates but the sales and support teams of netgear are beyond useless. The netgear uk phone support team told me the product wasnt available in the UK and that product bought from the USA wouldnt work as firmware was different! I imported it from the USA to the UK and it works fine. They dont respond to emails but took a risk buying the product and it works. Web chat takes ages sometimes an hours wait!! and they give useless info. Netgear Phone sales team dont seem to know anything about miracast or the product! Anyway can mirror my samsung galaxy S4 without problems with this. Very small footprint as much as a credit card but thicker and is very portable for conferences etc and also trips abroad to show photos and videos on phones and tablets to relatives wirelessly on their TV. Glad I bought the product but no thanks to the netgear sales and support teams in the USA and UK. There are millions of android devices out there that are miracast capable and should work well with this device with newer firmware. Too bad Netgear seem incapable of leveraging this to sell millions of this great device. The firmware i got worked out of the box 2.2.12. I did the software update, but netgear dont give the proper instructions on their website. As others have said dont upload the download from netgear as that is a zip file. You need to unzip the file and upload to the device the unzipped file. My present firmware is 2.2.15 I have uploaded a video review on youtube username veryannoyingname, you can open youtube and search for watch?v=MxZKpg3o-dk and that should bring up the video review of the device working. Too bad amazon Uk doesnt stock this yet and amazon usa takes AGES to deliver to the UK. Amazon germany delivers stuff in one day to the UK but dont yet stock this item, having bought phones from amazon germany previously but amazon usa is VERY SLOW to deliver to the UK. Initially i was given a time of 1.5months for delivery, later after i complained it came faster in a couple of weeks. Amazon Germany took just one day to deliver my smartphone to the UK by contrast. The lag is negligible as show in my youtube video link here [...] Mirroring your WiDi enabled laptop and how to update WiDi drivers etc shown here on the video link [...] Showing mircast screen mirroring working on my samsung galaxy s4 on this video link [...] It works with the Samsung Galaxy S3 using allshare cast app with about 250 millisecond lag but absolutely no stuttering even for 1080p videos. [...] But difference from SGS4 is that video being played only shows on TV and S3 screen shows only allshare cast app logo when video played but S4 plays video and phone simultaeneously. This isnt a problem though. Another useful point i noted while playing power point presentations was that on the S3 using allshare cast app, the presentation slide gets displayed on the TV but phone will show both the slide and the additional notes with the slide. Useful feature while doing presentations to have additional reminders for the person doing the talk. I have checked this feature yet on the S4 if its similar. But preferably connect to TV using a small cable as sometimes some circuit boards cause issues with dongles connected directly. As similar interference issues when wifi keyboard dongles are connected to usb host devices and work better when short cables connect to the same dongles. So am guessing something similar might happen with lag issues for this dongle too. Also dont plug in at the bottom part of your TV behind it as signal is lower. If you need to plug in directly to Tv then do it on either side of TV if you have side ports at the back as signal is better. I didnt see much difference between device lying flat or device standing up on its side but might be worth trying out best position for your setup and same goes for distance and sitting location. Hope this helps get rid of the lag issues for the ones giving poor reviews here and helps you enjoy the features of this great product after the driver updates for laptop and dongle. The device seems to be cheaper at amazon warehouse for open box items so check out there as well. If you are not a serious gamer who will be bothered by the 250 millisecond lag time for wireless transmission then this is an excellent buy and I would recommend it provided you are aware of the above mentioned lag limitations. I have absolutely no stuttering of 1080p videos wirelessly being mirrored by this device but i have attached this with long leads to my TV instead of directly to minimise interference from TV circuit board. I took this precaution as i knew tablet and other devices which use wireless keyboards with dongles have interference to dongle functioning properly sometimes when connected directly to device but function ok when connected via an extension cable. To those having issues my suggestion would be to use HDMI cable between netgear PTV3000 and TV instead of using a direct HDMI adapter without cable to connect the two devices. Hope this helps. edit on 19 May 2013: This will be my last edit. Some one at amazon deleted all the links to the video reviews. It is obvious that this device has had loads of returns all over as people dont know how to update the WiDi drivers and device drivers. Just Go to any tech shop selling this device you will find enough open box returns including on amazon warehouse which is evidence of the fact that people need video instruction on how to use this device. So amazon approver for the last edit by me where I gave link to this working on a samsung galaxy S3 and demonstrating the lag, the approver deleted the link and also deleted the 3 previous links that had been approved by previous amazon comment reviewers before my review gets posted here. Last time i am going to waste my time posting a link here which would have helped people buying the device not to return it as they probably didnt know how to use it. In the video links i had demoed using it without stuttering on 3 different devices and the amazon review approver on this occasion decided in their wisdom to delete the link i had added on this edit and also 3 previous links approved by previous amazon employees. Surely videos that have been considered useful by few android blogs (clove blog and androiduknewsetc blog / G+ )and articles written about those videos showing how to use the device would have been useful for prospective customers. But guess amazon prefers to delete useful (in my opinion) video review rather than themselves uploading useful reviews for devices for consumers to use the devices sold more effectively and get returns instead of open boxes. Anyone interested to see how to get this device to actually work and wanting to see video review, check out the videos for this device on youtube. I wont bother uploading the links again as some amazon employee will delete them as deleted previously.
