Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of FlipShare TVCustomer Review: Made for an apartment...or smaller Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product hoping to be able to share the videos on my PC in one room with my big screen in another room, same floor, less than 30 feet away, wood construction home and nothing large and metallic in the way. Reading the press and the marketing on this product one would conclude that what I wanted to do was a reasonable thing to be accomplished by the Flip Share TV. Oops. the wireless network USB key has barely enough power output to reach line of sight 20 feet with consistent video streaming. I mean I put it on a notebook, sat in the same room and it could barely maintain signal between the units...shame on Flip/Cisco!! Well try and talk to tech support and they say moronic things like "it is impossible to tell what could be happening based on the type of construction in your home..." etc. and then have the gall to ask if this support answer was helpful! Pathetic! If you are offering a wireless...the key here is WIRELESS!!!...you should have enough power output to actually BE wireless. Sitting with a notebook, 5 feet from the TV is simply stupid and a poor excuse for WIRELESS. Oh wait it gets better...I purchased a wireless extender hoping that I could obtain the WAP encryption code in order to simply boost the pathetic signal and guess what...nope, the WAP is proprietary and therefore not available. But "I hope this answer was helpful"!!! No you idiots, this is not a helpful answer. Tell me how I can overcome this poor excuse of a wireless product so I do not have to return it.
Bottom line is this...buy someone else's product and NOT Flip. They have image stabilization and god willing their tech support actually has graduated from some sort of technical school AND had some people skills. This is company that does not deserve to be in business when there are so many other options out there. Do not buy this product. (by the way, we like the video unit and use it all the time but it is the support...or lack thereof for image stabilization...and their supporting technology that completely sucks.
