Kinivo’s HDMI Kit Cuts Your Cable Cost and Cord
I think it is safe to say that we are all looking to try and save a few bucks here and there. We are looking to cut costs, but not strip ourselves of certain things. One thing that I was looking to do in 2014 was to see if I could cut my cable TV subscription. I hear more and more that a lot of people are doing it. Not that I am conforming into peer pressure, but when it comes to saving money I will take a look at all the options.
There are some devices out there that just work for their programs that are just for their operating system. Then there are those trying to be a knockoff version and the quality is very poor. What I wanted was quality TV, but not paying an arm and a leg for it.
I found out about the Kinivo HDMI kit and wanted to see what they could offer. Kinivo is a producer of quality mobile device accessories. Recently they introduced the new WHD110 wireless HDMI extender kit, created for home audio and video to wirelessly stream content to your television in high definition. Kinivo’s WHD110 extends the wireless HDMI signal with a simple and convenient set-up process, eliminating cable clutter and streamlining your home’s entertainment system with this all-in-one solution.
The HDMI extender kit streams video and audio content up to 65 feet in open space or up to 40 feet indoors, depending on wall density, for a wireless connection between televisions, audio systems, laptops, gaming consoles, cable boxes, monitors and more. Kinivo’s WHD110 brings content from the small screen to the big screen and provides a simple way to wirelessly connect the Internet to your television.
Requiring no complicated set-up, users simply connect Kinivo’s compact transmitter to the output device and attach the receiver to the TV’s HDMI input to wirelessly stream audio and video over your home’s entertainment system. Kinivo’s WHD110 also brings the power of the internet to your living room with the ability to stream online content to your television screen.
It is perfect for cutting the monthly cable bill. You can wirelessly connect their television screen to a laptop or desktop and directly stream video instantly.
“The WHD110 updates your home’s entertainment system by providing advanced features with hardly any set-up required,” says Kinivo VP of Operations Neeraj Srivastava. “Completely customize your home’s entertainment system with wireless streaming and connect with your favorite devices in an entirely new way.”
And that I did. I was very happy with Kinivo’s kit. It has a wireless frequency of 5 GhZ. It streams media in 1080p resolution and supports 3D. It has a 40 feet indoor range as well as 65 feet in open spaces. It comes with removable stands for transmitter and a receiver. It supports the following video formats for TV: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 480p; PC: up to 1920×1080. For audio you can use either PCM, DTS and DOLBY DIGITAL.
There are a ton of devices that it is compatiable with such as HDTVs, HD projectors, monitors, Blu-ray, DVD players, HD satellite and cable set top box, DVR systems, AV Receivers, Computers (Windows/Mac), HD output capable tablets and smartphones, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360.
So if you are looking to ditch the high cost of cable and stream TV and much more from your devices make you check out the Kinivo HDMI kit. For more info check Kinivo’s website.

The Dark Knight Rises Xbox Giveaway
Christopher Nolan’s final Batman installment, The Dark Knight Rises, hits theaters this Friday. This is probably the most anticipated film of the summer, and I can’t wait to check it out. I was a big fan of the first two Batman films from Nolan, and I think these reboots did a lot to revitalize a genre that was getting quite stale.
Mountain Dew partnered up with Xbox to create www.DEWGothamCity.com, which is the go-to source for all things related to the Dark Knight. Xbox LIVE users can enter UTC codes directly in the BDE using their keypad or controller to enjoy the DEWGothamCity.com online experience. Users who visit the site can take a mugshot and explore different Gotham City environments.
These interactive Gotham City environments include:
- The Gotham City Convenience Store, where you can gram a copy of The Gotham Observer and read up on the latest headlines from around the city
- The Gotham City Police Department, where you can check out files of Gotham’s criminals, upload your own mugshot and get to know new characters.
- The Applied Sciences Lab, where you can examine Batman’s toys, including the Bat Suit and all those cool vehicles.
- The Bat Cave, where you can view exclusive video from The Dark Knight Rises.
Users will have the opportunity to win cool prizes like signed copies of the script from Christopher Nolan, costume replicas and other gear.
If you’re counting down the hours to the release of The Dark Knight Rises, head over to the site and check it out. And if you need to stay up for a midnight showing, grab yourself some limited edition Mountain Dew Dark Berry, a darker take on dew that features cover art from The Dark Knight Rises.
