<\/p>\nHere\u2019s one I did not expect to work but did. I\u2019ve been able to use Windows Media Center to display non DRM\u2019d High Def content over WiDi (since the TV HD is at best 720p, it will work.. higher 1080p is not support.. maybe someday). <\/p>\n
I\u2019d ripped a bunch of movies at 720p to stream to my iPad using Air Video and other options. I was browsing the network folder over RDP that housed these mp4 and double clicked The Day After Tomorrow without really knowing what might happen. My expectation was that since RDP has been so bad at streaming media of any kind that it would be dreadful. To my surprise, it actually worked smoothly and well, including video and audio in sync. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a shot of my TV where you can see the RDP session and the movie in a Windows Media Player window.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And here is it when I expanded to full screen<\/p>\n

I admit that I prefer the Windows Media Center interface over RDP as that losses the menu bar and gives me full screen. But this brings up interesting possibilities of traveling to a friends house with my Push2TV adapter and WiDi enabled laptop and having access to a remote library over the Internet. Probably won\u2019t work as well over the Internet, but I\u2019m up for trying. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
