:) Actually that monitor is for navigating radio stations on the WDTV media player (TuneIn). Don't want to turn on the main TV to that. It's a 14" TV that we got from Vincent de Paul's for $40. The main requirement was that it had a remote for off/on. A friend gave me a professional video monitor but it had no remote, used BNC connectors, was power-hungry, took ages to warm up...

(regarding Pixel Media Controller, I understand Samsung's in-house app called 'AllShare' - preinstalled on Samsung smartphones - does the same thing)

1325648 2013-01-30 21:46:00 Yeah it does, but PMC can be used on all smartphones effortlessly. Allshare is really only for Sammies, even though you can get the .apk to install it on other ones it's just easier to get a supported app straight from the market. The Error Guy (14052)
