no configuration needed, no hassle. just drag and drop.

your mac is completely controlling and managing your tv and taking care of the streaming. just lean back on your sofa, get some popcorn and enjoy a movie, or two.

important: sofaplay is working with devices, which are supporting the upnp/dlna digital media renderer standard. fortunately, most of the new tvs are working with sofaplay. also, there are a few supported bluray players. if your device has a network connection (wireless or wired), there is a great chance it is supported. before you buy sofaplay, please use this little app to check if your device is compatible: http://bit.ly/sofaplaydevicecheck
