I purchased this item as a gift for a technically challenged family member who was also receiving a Flip UltraHD as a gift. The goal was to move them from the tape camcorder world to the digital world without heavy reliance on PC knowledge. This seemed like the logical answer as Flip has executed the download to PC with 'one-click' simplicity and I figured Flipshare TV would offer that same 'one-click' ease to TV viewing. I was wrong!
Installation: Everything was setup and installed within 5-10 minutes. Software loaded to my PC with ease, autoloading from the USB Key. One complaint about the TV module setup is that they only provide the RCA cables which have at best a mediocre clarity for that type of implementation. They probably figured they could cheap out hear since most people would opt for the HDMI interface...considering their newer camcorders record in HD. If that's the idea...then include the HDMI cable!
Connectivity: This was the huge bummer. I expected this to work like my local home network where I could have my PC in one room and the TV in another room. But it tells you right in the instructions to keep the USB Key and TV module unobstructed, and away from large metal objects (such as flat screen TVs) and other wireless devices...are you kidding me! So they're basically saying dont plan on using this unless you have all modern electronics in your house in another room...real practical! I was able to finally get the wireless connection working by moving the TV module within 10 feet of the USB key...it might be wireless...but what's the point at that range!
Ease of use: Once I finally got it working the software was easy to use and you could flip through your movies with ease.... Read more ›

So as expected this flipshareTV was easy to set up and worked right out of the box. What was not expected was how amazing it was to see my videos on TV for the first time. I now have a few Flip cams, and I find I show my friends and family my videos by (a) showing people videos on the small screen of my Flip, or (b) sometimes sending clips via email using the Flip software, or (c) most often uploading them directly to Facebook from the Flip software. (If you want to share the full-size file, btw, the best way is to export from the flip software and use [...].) Anyway, the bottom line is I usually share my videos in a way that you can only see them on a small screen. I've never connected my Flip to my TV. Not sure why. So I have to say I don't have a prior experience to compare FlipShareTV to, but it is AMAZING to see family videos on a flatscreen TV. They look crystal clear, the stream perfectly - better than on my computer - and look like real HD as promised. Even the videos streamed from the Internet instead of laptop looked great. Only negative to report is my laptop lost synch with the flipshareTV box when I moved the laptop to another room across the house. But that's not really surprising. Bottom line is I can't emphasize how much fun it is to see your kids and friends on TV.

First the good news.
I was able to set this system up and start watching videos in less than 30 minutes. (15 of those minutes was spent running to radio Shack to buy a HDMI cable.)
The video quality and sound were outstanding.
Now the bad.
The receiver cannot be more then 7 feet from USB fob. If you are using a laptop, in the same room, you will be beyond pleased at the results. If your desk top is in another room, forget it.
As other reviewers have stated, why on earth would a company make such a low powered system? Additionally, the cost for the,not included, HDMI cable is outrageous. And, if you need to share a single HDMI slot you'll need an HDMI splitter. The splitter and two cables cost almost as much as the device that won't work from my desktop.
It's going back

I purchased this product hoping to be able to share the videos on my PC in one room with my big screen in another room, same floor, less than 30 feet away, wood construction home and nothing large and metallic in the way. Reading the press and the marketing on this product one would conclude that what I wanted to do was a reasonable thing to be accomplished by the Flip Share TV. Oops. the wireless network USB key has barely enough power output to reach line of sight 20 feet with consistent video streaming. I mean I put it on a notebook, sat in the same room and it could barely maintain signal between the units...shame on Flip/Cisco!! Well try and talk to tech support and they say moronic things like "it is impossible to tell what could be happening based on the type of construction in your home..." etc. and then have the gall to ask if this support answer was helpful! Pathetic! If you are offering a wireless...the key here is WIRELESS!!!...you should have enough power output to actually BE wireless. Sitting with a notebook, 5 feet from the TV is simply stupid and a poor excuse for WIRELESS. Oh wait it gets better...I purchased a wireless extender hoping that I could obtain the WAP encryption code in order to simply boost the pathetic signal and guess what...nope, the WAP is proprietary and therefore not available. But "I hope this answer was helpful"!!! No you idiots, this is not a helpful answer. Tell me how I can overcome this poor excuse of a wireless product so I do not have to return it.
Bottom line is this...buy someone else's product and NOT Flip. They have image stabilization and god willing their tech support actually has graduated from some sort of technical school AND had some people skills.... Read more ›

Great, once up to speed
This is a great idea with "good" execution. A great product would have software that would allow the "broadcast" of all video, not just the proprietary Flip imagery. Read more

not necessary
Save your money and buy something else that you would get more use from. This isn't a necessary flip accessory. We sent it back after trying it just once. Read more

Disappointed
Flip does not make it easy to create a dvd that will play on a stamdard dvd player. Every way I've created one, including their own software, will only play on PC's. Read more
