Push2TV HD Adapter

Video Is Not Playing Smoothly

Problem/Question:

I see dropped frames and/or audio/video disconnects during movie play.

Answer:

There are several things that can cause this:

• Your PC might not be powerful enough (the CPU usage seen in the Task Manager tool is

80-100%). See

Minimum System Requirements on page 6.

• Changing screen resolution to 720p (instead of 1080p). Select 1280×720, as described in

Configuring the Display on page 22.

• For watching video, NETGEAR recommends that you put the Universal Push2TV HD

adapter into Extend mode. For more information, see

Configuring the Display via the

Display Icon Context Menu on page 26 or Configuring the Display in Windows 7 on

page 24.

• When you are viewing streaming video from the Internet, especially in Full Screen Mode,

NETGEAR recommends that you optimize the signal by disabling the hardware

acceleration. For issues related to streaming from the Internet, see

Internet Video on

page 49.

• No line of sight between the laptop and the base, which causes slight degradation in

throughput and can cause such issues. Try to improve the line of sight between the TV

and laptop and see if it helps.

• The laptop is too far away from the base, causing a drop in throughput. Try to get closer

to the TV and see if this helps.

• When using Windows Vista or Windows 7 and watching videos, you should enable

Optimize for Video mode, using the DisplayLink Manager icon in the task bar. For more

information, see

Using Optimize for Video Mode on page 54.

• When using Windows 7, use Aero Desktop Theme. For more information, see Aero

Desktop Theme on page 55.

Extend and Mirror Mode

Problem/Question:

What is the difference between Mirror mode and Extend mode?

Answer:

In Mirror mode, what you see on the notebook screen is also seen on the TV (including

icons), while in Extend mode the remote display extends your notebook screen (excluding

icons). In Extend mode, you can let your family or friends watch a movie streaming from your
