Playbook HD video streaming to HDTV
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to the forum & to the playbook tablet.
I've been looking to buy the playbook 64Gb as it has been discounted to �124 at PC world. I've looked into the features & specs of the playbook & been quite impressed BUT my main use for the playbook would be general web browsing, games, watching movies and (mostly) straeming movies to a HD TV in my living room. I dont want to have to copy large HD movie files onto the playbook to watch them in my living (otherwise i could simply use my USB stick to do this) and i don't want to splash out on a dedicated wifi media player (a good one would cost you �100+ anyway so i'm hoping a tablet could do this plus all the extras).
I have read up on playbook video streaming & the issues that is has. I just want some clarity - is the playbook able to stream HD movies from my PC to a HDTV to a high quality without stuttering or dropping connection?
I guess this question breaks up into multiple questions:
1) How good is the wifi on the playbook and does it lose/drop connection regularly?
2) Can the playbook stream HD movies (4gb-10gb size) from my Windows 7 PC on a wifi connection?
3) How good will the playback qaulity appear on the TV?
4) What file formats can the playbaook run?
5) My broadband gives around 30Mbps (DL) and 1.9Mbps (UL) so with this in mind, how well will the wifi connection work with the playbook when straeming HD files & will it still cause stuttering & buffering?
6) Is it worth buying the playbook if its main use is for streaming along with light web browsing & a few apps being used?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
