Using the adapter with my Surface Pro 3 and I'm seeing lots of disconnects especially during videos. Anyone else seeing this.

Same issue with my HP Envy 14 laptop.
Is your display adapter getting power from the TV? I wonder if its worth trying a AC-USB power supply. Maybe the USB power just isn't enough for power demands when video streams??
I have tried this with the same results. My surface, wifi router, and adapter are within 3' of each other. The adapter disconnects about every 10 minutes.
I've had no problem using the Microsoft Display Adapter. Once I figured out how to connect.
It seems slower than HDMI, no surprise here, and is a lower resolution, but has otherwise functioned as promised.
I have a SP3 , and an LG UB8500 tv.
Same exact problem with me too. I have a sp3 and just bought the MS WDA. It works perfectly for about 2-5 mins then I get the disconnected device sound and boom back to the screen saying Display Adapter is ready to connect. So every 2-3mins I have to keep re connecting it via the charms bar which defeats the whole point of having a device like this if I cant even watch a 5 min video without having to reconnect the device...
So I've just bought the Wireless Display Adapter and have the same problems with disconnects every few minutes actually, even with the device next to the TV. I'm disappointed that this forum has not thrown up any solutions or even helpful suggestions as to the problem. Has anyone actually contacted Microsoft Support regarding this issue?
Microsoft is really starting to confuse me with their product line up. Now apparently there is another Miracast device sold in the Microsoft store called the Microsoft HD-10 Miracast Adapter. You can still buy both with no explanation as to why there is a need for two separate devices that do the exact same thing. There is the added NFC paring plate on the new one, but why do you need that when screen mirroring from most devices is just a couple clicks or swipes away. That could justify the increase in price if the unit wasn't larger and less mobile than the old one.
Could we get some form of roadmap on products before we spend our money? Are early adopters just beta testers for products that will be replaced? This isn't a kickstarter project. I fully expect the devices we purchase to work the way they are advertised.
