Sorry if this is the wrong forum, seems like this could go in a multitude of places.

Has anyone used WiDi at all? I have a 2nd gen i5, which I believe has WiDi but I would have to get an adapter for my HDTV. How good is the Widi? I hear it can be a hassle to set up. I'm just looking to watch youtube videos or low quality streams on the TV without plugging into HDMI. It's difficult to plug into HDMI and get the laptop somewhere within range to plug in, and find an electrical outlet, and then set up the video on the TV screen while using the laptop touchpad etc.

Thanks.
