Sony Adaptateur Wireless LAN USB pour TV et Lecteur Blu-ray compatible Wi-Fi. (UWABR100AEP) Pre-802.11n

This did not do for me what it was advertized to do and I have spoke to Sony who claim they will issue a patch.

I wanted to be able to play video from my PC on my TV. I hoped to be able to do that with avi but could accept I might have to convert to some other formats. But seems it makes no differenece as it will not play any video formats. Although there was some claim it would play MPEG it don't.

So for now I am back to either burning to DVD or converting to MPEG and playing on my TV via using a flash drive. I still cannot do what I bought the item for, play video from my PC.

Seems apparently the only way is with a XBox via Windows Media Centre.
