re: Free Windows 10

Yeah, but not well.

The GF got me a PSTV for Christmas and we are both disappointed with performance and lack of features.

I expected latencty, but even streaming on a direct connect where both share the same 1GB switch and still experience large, extremely random intervals and unrepeatable scenarios which makes it a worthless effort to troubleahoot means terriable software. Its not our LAN configs, its shtty code from Sony. PSVita TV for us has become a paper weight which is terrible at keeping papers down.

Edt: On top of that, a PSNow script is stupid expensive and you are dealing with Sony'sservers.

Read the same, Vita smooth and PSTV unplayable.

My first thoughts leaned towards underpowered HW being slammed by large packets of data leading towards random gullps of lag.

Then I noticed just being in the PS4s menu with zero inputs gave the same random lag spikes in video output.

So the above and other issues landed me on

1. Terrible compression software resulting in corrupted encoded data, redundant executions when decoding or both.

2. The process the network controller is being told to check connectivity and handle data is overly aggressive, as a result the controller randomly refreshes giving us huge spikes of lag.

I honestly don't know because I've never needed them.

So why aren't these arent these apps on PSTV since Vita they reportly are the same platform?

Does the PSTV run an OS with features removed thus lowering resource requirements therefore creating a product at an reasonable price point below the Vita.

The PSTV probably uses rejected SoCs and memory which couldn't meet spec for the Vita. Sony is probably recycling rejects in the unit with dedicated power allowing increased voltages to achieve spec on leaky parts.
