Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this unit yesterday (8-21-08) at Fry's hoping it would be simple to use. Similar to the new Roku set top box for Netflix. Unfortunately the VisonTek Pc2Tv seems to follow the trend of similar devices sold. Unless you have three days to kill messing with it; or money for a hardware/router changes don't bother.
-Pro:
- All cables are included and are of decent quality.
- The set top unit was detectable on my FiOS router, passing the ping test.
- Size: the set top unit is small enough to be put on most entertainment systems with a footprint the size of an average hardback book.
Cons:
-After 3 reinstalls the software still refused to find the set top unit.
- The error message read to check the subnets to make sure they matched. After double checking and resetting the router; the software would not detect the set top box. Despite being detected by the router itself, with matching IP's and subnet numbers.
- The only way to get the set unit to detect was with a wired connection. defeating the purpose entirely.
Conclusion:
Wait a few more months until the software and support catches up. In 6 months to a year they may have all the bugs worked out.
