Explored Twonky Beam some more using the iPad, and tried out beaming media from my PC to my WDTV. Works great. Here is a screenshot from my iPad of Twonky Beam playing through a 100-song, iTunes playlist to my WDTV connected to the TV and stereo.

It so happens that I downloaded the program from Twonky last month; I just had not installed it. So I did so today. Yes, it runs, yes, my WDTV sees it as a server and media can be played to my WD via Twonky 7. So, what happens if I click on mytwonky link within the program? Well, I see the same Notice as above, and with a second paragraph added that says:

How to install Twonky Beam on your Android device:
Twonky Beam is an enhanced browser that is available for both Android and iOS and provides a simple and familiar way to discover and enjoy internet videos on your tablet or smartphone and then stream or 'beam' them to your Smart TV, Apple TV or other media players on your home network. When you visit a website, Twonky Beam displays a Twonky Beam button over the media files that you are able stream to another device. The home page contains links to popular websites and you can easily return to this page by tapping the Twonky logo in the app. Twonky Beam is primarily aimed at internet video, but it also works with audio and photos. You can create playlists of media items from across the web, continue browsing while playing media on a device and bookmark your favourite sites for future streaming. It all sounds very interesting, so let's take a look and see how it works in practice.
The Twonky Beam app appears as an icon on your tablet or smartphone and when you select the icon it opens your standard internet browser but with the app itself positioned to the right hand edge of the browser window. When you select a video to stream the Twonky Beam window opens on the right hand side offering you a choice of play, stop, preview and volume. There is also a list of compatible display devices, allowing you to select the one that you want to 'beam' videos to and the Beam icon will appear on videos that are supported by the app. There is also a Beam Queue feature that allows you to select multiple videos which are then queued and played in order.
I'm not talking about media stored on my hard drive. Plex would take care of that. I'm talking about watching streamed content on my laptop, but "beamed" to my Roku the way Twonky works with Android. For example, if I'm watching a TV show or First Row Sports and I'd rather watch it on my tv and not my laptop, is there anything available that would let me do this? I don't have an HDMI output on my laptop, to further complicate matters.
When you visit your favorite websites, or discover new ones, Twonky Beam Browser will display a Twonky Beam button over the media files that you are able beam to your TV or sound system. The home page of Twonky Beam Browser contains links to popular websites with great content you can beam. Browse many pages at once through tabs, with the home page always available to you as the main tab. You can also create and manage bookmarks, so that you can easily find your favorite sites.
A simple tap of the screen will beam the chosen content to your selected player, such as your Airplay enabled, UPnP or DLNA certified device. The beaming mode in Twonky Beam Browser can be toggled on and off, allowing you to use the application to discover and enjoy content locally on your tablet or phone.
After seeing his wife (Janet Warren) off on her trip, Kerry West (Hans Conried), a philosophy teacher at a small-town college goes inside his home to contemplate his new purchase: a television set. Sitting down in his office, he places a cigarette in his mouth and is about to light it when a solid beam of light shoots from the television screen, lighting it for him. Absentmindedly unaware of what has taken place, it is only when the television subsequently lights his pipe that West realizes that his television is behaving abnormally.
Trout concludes that the Twonky is actually a robot committed to serving West. When he tests this hypothesis by attempting to kick West, the Twonky paralyzes his leg. After tending to the coach, West attempts to write a lecture on the role of individualism in art, but the Twonky hits him with beams that alter his thoughts and censors his reading. When West attempts to give his lecture the next day, he finds himself unable to do more than ramble on about trivialities. Frustrated, West goes to the store from which his wife had ordered the television and demands that they take it back or exchange it.
In addition, users can surf other websites while using the app and also gain the option to beam video content embedded within those sites. This is an awesome concept for those times where you choose to surf the net from your smartphone or tablet and find an interesting piece of video content. A simple press of the beam button can send the video to that big television screen in your living room to enjoy in style.
The video quality of the beamed content was just as good as the content appears within the websites themselves. While using the app only a little buffering was apparent early on in some higher quality videos, but at a level far less than often encountered when playing content straight from the built-in XBox 360 applications. Each HD video used to test the application, once streaming on the television, was indistinguishable from broadcast quality programming.
The Twonky Beam app is free for download and when tested for this review did as advertised, managing to seamlessly stream quality video content from the tablet device to the television screen by way of the XBox 360 console. A highly recommended download to your smartphone or tablet, especially if you use them to surf the web and view video content.
