Had read that if the HDMI is not connected to an active device, then HDCP shuts down video.įor the test, I tethered to my iPhone 5 and there was a lot more buffering but it was somewhat viewable.

I didn't even have the HDMI handshake problems with HBO or Showtime, though it may be because I connect from my HD-DVR to a receiver, rather than directly to a TV. So I viewed it from my MacBook Pro which was on Wifi (802.11n) while the Vulkano Flow is connected to my old router. Then it was choppy so I hooked it to my router by ethernet.

a couple of times but eventually got it working. It also flashes the firmware on the device. The Mac player installation is about 200 MB and it does the configuration, such as which wireless network to connect to, configuring access to the device - device name and password.
