Does DLNA support this? From the description it's not clear.

Honestly, I've no idea; if you like I can have a play tonight when I get home and let you know?

I can clearly see that this project supports it, "Duplicate your screen" is the first feature listed there.

Hah, that's quite funny; if you skip to the "Use Cases" section, it's all about consuming media, whereas the screen mirroring is highlighted as an extra feature. I guess the page neatly segmented you and I into our respective markets!



I came up with a hack to do this. Basically I streamed my screen into a file, and then served that file with a DNLA server (which transcoded it into something the TV would eat).

The result was pretty because source -> youtube -> my screen -> mp4 -> mpeg.

Although it won't be so bad, I really see re-encoding artefacts being the problem here. Although Wireless N can have enough bandwidth to send video at a good quality.
