This software is good but I must warn anyone thinking of trying. By all means have a go with the trial but BE WARNED:
If your TV, like mine, (Samsung) has occasional updates to it's software(firmware) then you will LOSE the license you PAID for!
The developer of this software flat out REFUSES to listen to his customers!
Myself and a few others recently on the 'support' forum, informed him of the sudden change to our software, the problem was simple: After Samsung TV update the license was invalidated. the media server claimed 'the Trial is Expired'. Upon being told this the developer, Eugene, refused to believe us! He said 'Samsung would never do this'.
Another user showed him some part of an email from Samsung and I also showed screenshots, showing the code not working, the same code I had used successfully before that.
He seemed to not want to hear it!
The result of us telling him our problem was him saying we have to buy ANOTHER LICENSE.
No way!!
I return to the forum and find not only am I and some others BANNED, he has deleted all evidence of the threads and posts so that no one can see what a liar and a cheat he is.
He made ~NO ATTEMPT to help us!
I sincerely wish I had spent my money elsewhere, this guy needs a personality check-up.

It's a nice piece of software and functionality wise it's very good compared to others I have tested. However, for the purchase price of $40, it's a bit iffy. The software is far from polished in terms of UI, usability and plain English. You'll encounter some tooltips in Russian. Support is through Eugene, who clearly has difficulty speaking/writing/understanding the language. There is a forum for which people can ask questions, but many times Eugene can't understand what is written, or worse yet, provides a response which isn't all the clear because of the language barrier. Additionally, if you post something that Eugene doesn't agree with, your post will get deleted with no mention why.

Be careful of the licensing model. Some TVs, like my Sony KDL-46NX700 have 2 network adapters (wired and wireless). These equate to 2 different device IDs, and you will need separate licenses for each, not 1. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but that's how it is. Make sure you decide on which network connection you want to use prior to purchasing the software if you have a device that supports 2 different network connections. In an ideal world, how one chooses to connect their device to the network shouldn't matter, but the Russian philosophy must be different.

The program has great features - not much comes close to it. However, the UI is poor and usability is lacking because of the language issue. Very little documentation comes along with it, and so you may not know what many of the options do. You can try posting a question on the forum about it and you might get a response that makes sense. If Eugene thinks it's a stupid question, he'll just delete it though. Support and customer service is a 0.
