AllQ:
One of the earlier answers said to use the TV remote to get in to the settings for the Miracast Video Receiver. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but how do I use the TV remote to control the Miracast Video Receiver so I can change it settings?by

Answers
A:
Using your tv's remote is made possible via HDMI CEC. Now to confuse things each TV manufacturer calls HDMI CEC something different. LG's is called Simplink, Panasonic's is called EZ Sync, Sony Bravia's is Theatre Sync, and Samsung is Anynet.To complicate things even further it seems most manufacturer's include very little information regarding usage of this feature. I have an LG bought in 2011 that came with Simplink. LG includes absolutely zero information about what it is or what it does.
My advise is to Google the model # of your TV along with the term HDMI CEC. Good luck!

A:
Check with your TV manufacturer on how to enable CEC on your TV. Once this is enabled your TV Remote arrow keys will allow you to navigate the menu and you can select an item by pressing OK.by

A:
You need to use an HDTV which supports a CEC remote control. Insignia, Vizio, SONY, Samsung, Toshiba, all work (press the arrow keys on your remote control to select settings, press the enter to change screen). Only TV's which don't support CEC are those from LG.by

I am trying to use the Miracast Video Receiver with a Nexus 4. Getting audio but no video.
Q:
My Nexus 4 is running Android 4.2.2 so my understanding is the Miracast Video Receiver should work with my phone. What happens however is when the phone connects, the display just goes blank on the TV. However phone audio is played through the TV speakers. I have tried with the Video Receiver connected directly to my TV, connected to my A/V receiver, and to a computer display that has HDMI input. I get the same results in each case. Any suggestion on how to get video?Also the initial display from the Miracast Video Receiver has icons for Refresh and Settings. Is there some way to select these functions?

Answers
A:
Turn off HDCP from the settings menu. Using your HDTV remote (the one which came with your TV), move to settings (using arrow keys), select middle button (or enter) to select the option. Rumour is that there is a bug in HDCP on Nexus-4 and either a Rocketfish or Google update should address this issue in the future.by

A:
Currently the Nexus 4 and LG Optimus do not handle HDCP properly. Using the remote that came with your TV go into the Miracast Video receiver settings and turn off HDCP and your phone will work properly.by

A:
The HDCP Legacy option turns off HDCP legacy support. It was included for maximum compatability. There are no devices on the market today which require you to change this from its current setting!by

Answers
A:
I have to confess it is not a scenario we tested but I believe it could work. You will have to provide 5 VDC to the device via the micro-USB cable provided and a wall charger. If you don't mind let us know how it works.by

A:
I have a Lenovo Miix 2 8in tablet with Windows 8.1 and I tried everything. I even joined Rocketfish.com's forum and the Rocketfish moderator tried to tell someone asking about Windows 8.1 and he said Windows doesn't support Miracast. THis was a recent posting too. Another member had to explain to the moderator that yes, it actually does support it.Suffice it to say I could never get mine to work. I have given up and am going to try to send it in to be replaced under the warranty. Otherwise I'll be abandoning it at the Best Buy customer service counter.

Q:
Can I use this to stream video from my phone to my tablet? I don't have nice big flat screen TV, but I have an HTC ONE S (T-Mobile) and a Nexus 7. Because my room is too far from the wireless router to stream movies seamlessly, if I want to watch streaming video it works better using the data package from my mobile carrier. Because of that, this device looks like what I need to stream from the phone to my WIFI Tablet. Is that right?by

This device must be plugged into a TV or an AV receiver so it is not useable for the purpose you suggest.by

Q:
I'm wondering why my device doesn't have Persist, HDCP, HDCP Legacy, or Sys Info in my receiver's settings like the manual says I should? I only see a 2.4 vs 5 Ghz option and an Auto, client, or server setting. Is it possible I've got an old firmware or something? There's no download available to update the firmware, but it seems weird that I would have only half of the settings I should have.by

Answers
A:
You have a very early model of the device that did not have HDCP keys installed. Contact Rocketfish Products about the possibility of a replacement device.by

That does sound like a firmware issue. You'll want to get into contact with the manufacturer. They can be reached at this link:http://bit.ly/18N7rl710 years, 10 months ago
