I was impressed with the quality of the video and audio that the FlipShare TV streamed from my laptop's hard drive to my 1080p plasma HDTV. Colors were pleasingly bright, video was smooth, and voices and music sounded great. However, videos on a FlipChannel did not look as good, probably because of the additional network hops required to transmit the stream to my Wi-Fi-connected laptop and then to the FlipShare TV. I encountered stuttering and loss of audio in my tests--the same sorts of problems I've experienced trying to stream other Internet video services through my laptop to a TV.

I'd be cautious about recommending the FlipShare TV to people who are primarily interested in viewing FlipChannel content over a Wi-Fi-connected computer, especially in a crowded environment where many Wi-Fi networks may be battling for limited bandwidth. But for Flip camcorder fans who are willing to pay handsomely to view their own videos on a big screen (or for people whose computers are on a wired network), the FlipShare TV does the job quite well.
