Steam In Home Streaming, is it actually just a pile of cack?

[Skeeter]

Has Steam In Home Streaming ever worked for anyone?

I tried it ages ago when it was first out and never got a game to run. It always crashed my PC, the receiving PC, or both.

I've just given it a go again know using my work laptop as the receiver and its still cack. Launched Dirt Rally, random crazy colours. Tried Grid Autosport and got the same. So tried Toubox Turbos and it ran, so exit out and try another game but now nothing runs as Toy box Turbos is still running! Open Toy box Turbos again and both crash!

Why would anyone bother with this when spending £10 on a 20m HDMI cable is far superior in every way? It seems like a massively over complicated worthless piece of junk

Seems that individual experience of this is rather mixed, which is a shame. It would ideal for me as the GF doesn't like when I run a 15m HDMI cable across the house . But if it working seems like such a hit and miss I'll have to stick with that.
