Will this really play HD ??

Or is it misleading. I can't see anywhere where HDMi is mentioned which i assume is the only way to watch HD ??

Or am I totally wrong and it will play HD lovely ????

No it wont as far as i know

It is purely a streaming device from your pc to the showctre which is connected to your TV.

I believe that is correct.
