Get rid of my hdmi lead

[Albertthefrog2]

Hi all

just got my puck and connected it to my Samsung smart tv via the hdmi lead.

I want to get rid of the hdmi lead and connect wirelessly however I have no clue as to what settings i need to change -- bearing in mind that "I know norrthing" you might need to explain it to me "as you would a child"

You can't, the stream puck has to connect to your TV via an HDMI cable for you to be able to watch it.

Devices known as HDMI Wireless Video Senders do exist, but are notoriously unreliable and temperamental.  You could experiment with them if you wish, but only purchase from somewhere with a good returns policy: no forum user has ever posted about successful use with Sky Stream or Sky Q.

As @MarkGoldsmith indicates, devices such as the Stream puck (and its equivalent from Virgin and BT/EE) are inherently designed for HDMI cable output to screen or projector after wireless delivery of content to the box.

Thank you both-blinking salesman!! I will manage

I'm intrigued exactly what the salesperson actually told you.

This has happened with Q as well over the years: either a salesperson or customer misunderstands the description of the Sky device as 'wireless'.
