However, I experienced problems trying to watch TV remotely over a Wi-Fi connection, especially when the remote connection also used Wi-Fi. I ran an ethernet cable between its gigabit ethernet port and a free port on a HomePlug AV switch, but the Flow also has integrated support for 802.11n Wi-Fi. You must also connect the Vulkano Flow to your home network. Also, you can still enjoy the superior quality of digital video once you finish the setup routine: Simply keep the HDMI connection between the set-top box and the TV, and use the HDMI input as the TV’s video source.

Check your set’s manual to see if there should be one kicking around someplace, or pay a few dollars to get the second set of cables. So you’re on your own for finding another set of analog cables that match the ones you use to connect the Flow to the set-top box (the instructions say the two sets of cables must be the same).Īside from the setup guide’s failure to address this issue, however, the lack of a second set of analog cables may not be as stingy as it sounds: Many HDTVs do come with component cables that sit unused because HDMI does deliver superior quality. The quick setup guide blithely declares that you can use the same cables you previously used to connect the set-top box directly to the TV, but if you have been using an HDMI cable, you can’t do this-the Flow has no HDMI port (as did the Deluxe). You must provide your own cables for connecting the Flow to the HDTV. Component video, which uses three separate cables, delivers the best quality analog connection composite video carries all the image info on a single cable and isn’t quite as good. It comes with cables to connect to a set-top box’s analog outputs for either component or composite video, and for stereo audio. Like its predecessors, the Vulkano Flow is a black, keyboard-sized slab. This isn’t ideal, but on a small smartphone or laptop display, the video quality issues are less apparent than they would be on a big HDTV screen. For audio, meanwhile, the Vulkano can only use the box’s analog stereo outputs-forget 5.1, let alone 7.1. So the best a Vulkano can do is to use the set-top box’s analog outputs, which don’t have those security issues but also can’t deliver the pristine quality of the digital video signal. Copy-protection technology doesn’t allow an unauthorized third-party device such as a Vulkano to grab a copy of the digital signal en route to your set. The main drawback of this scheme is that most current HD cable or satellite boxes connect to HDTVs via an HDMI cable, which securely delivers both high-def digital video and 5.1 or 7.1 audio, too.

The Mac and PC players are free, but you have to pay $13 for the Vulkano Player for Flow and Blast iOS app, as well as apps on other platforms.

Like the more full-featured (and pricey) Vulkano Deluxe ( ) I reviewed earlier this year, the Flow works by intercepting the video stream that travels between your cable or satellite box and your HDTV, and making it available via the Internet to player software that you can download and install on a PC, Mac, smartphone, or tablet. But you have to accept some image quality compromises, and its controls for remote access generally work extremely slowly.

One of Monsoon Multimedia’s latest offerings in this category, the Vulkano Flow, costs $100 (as of ), supports high-def video, and works pretty well if your remote broadband connection meets its modest bandwidth demands. If you’ve ever spent any time channel surfing in a hotel room, chances are you’ll immediately see the appeal of place-shifting technology, which allows you to watch your home TV programs remotely by streaming them over the Internet to a PC, Mac, or smartphone.
