It gives what seems like a censored view of available videos. It will access most things the Chromecast and Miracast will with one exception, The Youtube app is a third party thing that sits between the stick and Youtube. The Firestick is used about 95% of the time as it has a handy remote. The Chromecast no longer gets used as it needs my Android phone running for controls and that sucks as my daily-driver-phone is win-8.1. Once there it seems to work, but if you can live with that then Miracast might do what you want. It takes about 5-tries to get the mouse to settle on a button. On the two devices that do Miracast, the mouse-lag is abysmal. Fire-stick, iPazzport Miracast, Chromecast and Push2TV Miracast. :) Miracast is not all that good in reality compared to the direct wifi ability of the Fire, Chromecast et al. Well, I was hoping to get a great deal on a combo device that could do everything and Miracast for really cheap.Be careful what you wish for. because I have other devices that can do the same thing. I don't need it for Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. I got the fireTV stick because it was cheap and I thought it'd be a great way to get multiple sticks on the cheap versus getting the expensive Microsoft one but so far, I can't use the stick for my purposes. I also tried an HP Stream 7 and that failed as well. Anyone get this working on the Surface Pro 2? My Microsoft wireless adapter works perfectly and that truly doesn't require any network. I go to Charms > Devices > Project and I choose the fireTV stick. I go to Enable Display Mirroring (buried in the settings).
My laptop or tablet can connect directly to the TV for presentations without having to be connected to a network (great for offices where they won't let you on the network). The point of Miracast for me is you don't need to connect to a wireless network. I plug it in and the first screen is the setup for the WiFi.
So I pick up the Amazon fireTV stick because it was cheap and supported Miracast.
