TomCat Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 4k should depend on your home network bandwith but HDR is probably out Quote
crispy4000 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Xbox Live Gold just got even more ironic. You can now stream Sea of Thieves to your Xbox One (X) to play online with no subscription.

The appeal of in-home streaming would be more of a productivity thing for me. (ie: writing email at computer monitor in another room) Quote
XxEvil AshxX Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Soo... I don't have a gaming rig, so maybe this is contributing to my confusion.. but... If I was a PC gamer, and I wanted to play on my tv.. wouldn't I just output my pc to the tv? Using the xbox just kinda seems like a redundancy to me... Quote

Most people dont have an HDMI cable that can stretch to thier TV. Quote

It's what I have currently. But if I needed longer, I'd just end up moving the PC. Quote

I know they are cheap I have one but most people that i've seen who dont have thier Pc to thier Tv say they dont have a long enough video cable Quote

(ie: writing email at computer monitor in another room) The PC is taken up during the stream, though: it’s more of a screen mirror. At least via GameStream and Steam Streaming it is (the game is running and taking up full screen space on the PC while streaming to whatever else, it cannot be minimized or run in the background, unless this changed and I missed it).

Everyone ultimately has a screen they prefer: their TV, or their monitor. It'd be better to stream their PC signal to their 2nd choice. And probably not game on it (much). Quote
Rodimus Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Isn't this simply replicating what is done with a steamlink? Quote
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Ewww, why would I want that downgrade? Quote

Mr.Vic20 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 While its a head scratcher for some, I see no reason to be unhappy with more options and features. I won't use this, but I'm sure some one out there has a use for this...maybe? Quote
Keyser_Soze Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Anyone who has a PC worth using on their TV has a 10 foot HDMI cable. Quote
