    I got the Belkin Screencast and it has worked flawlessly so far. I normally use it about 10 feet away from the receiver in the same room, but in a different room about 20 feet away I still see about 3-4 bars, though I haven't actually run it from there. It was this PCmag review that convinced me on it:

    Belkin ScreenCast Review & Rating | PCMag.com

    Their only con was that it required fimrware updates after initial install (mine did too), but that automatically gave it the best up-to-date drivers, so I don't really see it as a con.

    Here is the Amazon link:
    Amazon.com: Belkin ScreenCast TV Adapter for Intel Wireless Display: Electronics

    Its wierd that the price says $150. When I got it back in June, it was goin for about $45 plus $5 in shipping. Makes me think its out of production or that it will be replaced.
