The latter comes in handy if you want to watch a video on the TV screen and continue to do other things on the laptop while you watch. Once connected, you can use the TV screen either as a duplicate of your laptop's screen, or you can use it as an extended screen. The Intel WiDi interface had no problems finding the Push2TV adapter. You'll only need to enter this PIN once as the PC will remember it. Our notebook saw the adapter straight away and we had no problems connecting to it after entering the PIN that the Push2TV displayed on the TV screen. It's important that your notebook has an adapter that supports WiDi, as well as the WiDi software installed (from Intel's site) so that it can connect to the Push2TV adapter. To connect to the Push2TV device, we used a laptop equipped with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless adapter and Intel's Wireless Display software. This all went to plan and the upgrade was successful. Finally, we had to connect to it through our laptop (by finding it in the list of wireless networks through Windows). To do this, we had to first download the firmware from Netgear's site, then hold down the button on the device for five seconds until the instructions for upgrading the firmware came up. When we first switched it on, we had to upgrade its firmware. Setting up the Push2TV can be a little fiddly depending on your scenario.

Because it's such a small device, you can leave it dangling at the back of the TV, or fix it to the rear with double-sided tape. It doesn't require a power adapter (the original version of the Push2TV did) - you can simply plug it in to one of your TV's USB ports to give it power. All that's on it is an HDMI port, a USB port and a button that can change its mode. It's smaller than a business card and 12mm thick. (Wi-Fi Direct is what allows two devices to connect to each other, and Miracast is what allows the contents of the screen to be sent over that connection.) To ake use of this adapter, you'll need a laptop that supports Intel's Wireless Display (WiDi) or an Android device that supports Wi-Fi Direct and Miracast. To use it, you have to connect it to a TV via HDMI (a cable is not supplied) and make sure that your laptop or Android device has the requisite software to communicate with it. Netgear's Push2TV PTV3000 is a device that allows you to wirelessly beam the contents of your laptop or Android device to a big-screen TV.
