Vague, it's not vague it just doesn't make any sense ;-)

Don't suppose you could try again.

Sounds like a nightmare,

firstly does the PC recognise the USB device (e.g. driver installed),
then is there some application that came with it that confirms it is working,
then is it properly configured (does it have to be setup in a app to start streaming)
then can you confirm if the receiver (TV) end if recieving a signal (you may need to move it next to it to eliminate any out of range/blocked signal shenanigans)
is the receiver correctly setup (plugged in, connected correctly, any radio channel options?)

etc,etc

Is it using Intel tech ? ...the Netgear Push to TV box is as you described, but requires the prescence of a the latest models of Intel display adapater in the laptop to work...something you need to check if its that kind of device

RTFM ?
