How well does Airparrot work on a PC?

I can't find many reviews of this. It is a cheap product that lets a windows machine mirror to an appletv...

I think I bought it, let me check for you.

I can use it to wirelessly mirror a 1080p game to my TV. Too bad framerate is capped at 30fps.

It does audio, though? I'd have thought that a stupid question but some review online at least back in February indicated it didn't.

I guess I should get the trial!

It sent both audio and video for me.

I've since moved on from gaming (or at least I don't need to mirror to a bigger screen anymore), so I can't say if it's having issues now or not. But it was perfect when I was using it to stream games wirelessly to the TV.

Downloaded, tried. It works fine with video/audio, except major lag and loss of frames. CPU is tapped out. I think this is simply that my laptop is too slow for it. It can't even present the unmoving desktop with an MP3 without slowing it down.

If I get a more powerful pC I'll definitely give this another shot.
