Customer Review: connect Wii to your computer monitor
I bought this so that i can use Wii with my LCD computer monitor (VGA input). It works great. I connect my computer also to the monitor through this (no difference in supported resolution or image quality), and use the remote to switch between computer and Wii. I have been using it for more that a month now.
Customer Review: Good for watching tv on your computer monitor
I gave this product 4/5 because the manual isn't very clear, and also because the + tab for the battery in the remote is bent slightly down so the remote won't work if you just drop the battery in place. You have to pry up the tab slightly, then slip the battery in place. (You can use the menu, channel, and volume controls on the side of the box as an alternative to the remote.) Setup is fairly easy, but the manual mentions selecting "search" from the menu, but there is no search option, instead, under the "Channel" option on the menu is "Auto Scan". The 4th page of the manual states how to navigate the menu options (channel buttons), and select your menu option, which is by pressing the "menu" button. The volume buttons are used to change the value. There is a delay of a few seconds after you press the menu button to select a menu option for the sub-menu to appear on screen, during which time, unlike most other menus, the original menu disappears completely and the screen has no menu on it until the sub-menu appears. This might make you think you that nothing is happening. Once the auto scan is complete, you will find that the channel numbers do not correspond to the ones from your cable provider, especially if some of the channels are scrambled. The box applies its own numbers to them based on whether it was able to get a clear signal or not. Picture quality varies, depending I suppose on the quality of the signal. Some channels are very clear, but others are a bit grainy. Sound quality is very good though.


For a while, the big satellite TV providers (DISH Network and DirecTV) lacked the ability to be competitive in the multifamily space mostly due to inability to offer a viable Internet solution as part of their offering. In fact, there are still challenges with satellite-delivered Internet solution, such as an increased cost for slower speeds when compared to local DSL and Cable Modem solutions.

As a property owner of an apartment or condominium, it's incredibly complicated to even consider replacing the local cable company with a service provider that strictly offers video, no matter what the rate increases from the local cable company might look like. The most successful multifamily service providers realize this and focus on proposing solutions that offer both Internet and video service as a bundled solution to customers.

Typically the multifamily service provider will purchase Internet bandwidth from the LEC (local exchange carrier) or CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier) and provide that Internet bandwidth to customers directly. In most cases, these services are delivered to customers over coax (cable modem) but Ethernet and Wi-Fi solutions have also found their way into the mix. Any company with a hefty pocketbook can purchase bandwidth and resell it, but it takes a good system and real network management to make a viable solution to the cable company. Cable modem customers have grown accustomed to being able to access the Internet, most of the time anyway. After all, why risk ending up with a worst solution than what you had in the first place.

Due-diligence is the key. Service providers must have the capital, resources, back office systems and call center to serve your residents and address your needs. When evaluating your next provider, keep in mind that almost every video customer will require Internet. Your new provider should have a competitive solution to address this.
