To be able to make use of the Miracast technology, you need three pieces – a device compatible with Intel’s Wi-Di technology, an external screen, Miracast-compatible adapter. The cheapest adapter currently is $50 so that’s the first problem. The process of setting up Miracast to work can be pretty annoying, especially the part with updating the firmware on the adapter. Paul explains why using Xbox Video can be a better and a cheaper idea: Ultimately, this feature will found to be simply only by those users that are a little tech savvy and will prove to be quite difficult to set up for the average users. By comparison, you can use Xbox Video with the Play on Xbox feature and use the Xbox SmartGlass app as a smart remote. So while you’re still triggering video playback from the PC/device to the HDTV, you can then use your PC/device as a smart remote control. And depending on the content, you’ll have amazing second screen functionality too.
