    there is nothing like Intel WiDi included in Windows 8 so you can't use your TV

    as a wireless display and show your desktop, etc. etc. There are options to

    stream media, etc.

    Microsoft has to certify the device for it to work with Start Screen Windows

    Store Apps. For Play To media streaming, you would need to use the classic

    explorer/libraries interface.

    What exactly do you want to stream?
