    Might be I am just dumb? Should I get a wireless HD receiver for my WiHD I added to the order. I have the transmitter on my computer, but I don't see a receiver in the box. Do they ship separately or I have to buy one? :confused:

    you could have bought the reciever with the laptop but it would have been extra money. check your order list and see if you bought it. ;)

    If you didn't configure it, then you won't have the part that connects to a tv unless you have a WirelessHD enabled HDTV.

    + in many countries this option is not available (to add a Wireless HD card + antena). You have to explain this to the dell rep when you buy the system and give them the part number (for both, card and antena). Some of them have no idea of what you are talking about.

    However, you can still use WIDI (your processor is capable of this) along with an extra adapter (or if your TV supports such items) as widezu69 specified.
