Bought so I can watch sky Q in a window when using my computer whilst others watch on the tele.
The sky mini box has a separate video/audio output that can be plugged into composite cables with a converter cable supplied by sky. This can be used at the same time as the HDMI cable output is plugged into the television. It’s not totally perfect though depending upon your perfections.
There is a time lag. The picture and sound from the device after being processed by the computer does not sync with the actual television. However, if you are out of earshot and eyeline of the television you can of course sync the picture with the sound on the actual computer and then be completely unaware of this occurrence. This is easily done in VLC which is my preferred video playback software.
Another slight disappointment was the picture quality. Whilst I have decided that it is adequate for my desired usage (to keep watching television or sky recordings in a window whilst I am working) I don’t think you would use it as a complete alternative. The picture is good but has a slightly blurred picture quality which can clearly be seen when any words appear on screen. I would have to caveat though that this may be my setup, limitations in what I am trying to achieve or sky limitations and may not be the total fault of the product.
Overall, I am happy as it does adequately what I wanted to do. I had no problems that others have reported. Mine worked out of the box, with no drivers to load, first time. I am using a new desktop running the latest Windows 10.
