A transmission apparatus for wireless transmission of an MPEG-TS (Transport Stream) compatible data stream, according to the Wi-Fi Display Technical Specification of the Wi-Fi Alliance, e.g., in the Version 1.1.0 (Miracast) to a receiver apparatus. The transmission apparatus is provided with a terminal for receiving an MPEG-TS compatible data stream, and is further adapted to wirelessly transmit a first IP address characterizing the transmission apparatus to a receiver apparatus according to the Wi-Fi Display Technical Specification of the Wi-Fi Alliance, e.g., in the Version 1.1.0 (Miracast). The transmission apparatus is also adapted to combine the first IP address with the MPEG TS compatible data stream before wireless transmission to the receiver apparatus. The transmission apparatus is further adapted to allow the receiver apparatus to receive an external IP data stream from an external signal source, and is adapted to wirelessly transmit a second address to the receiver apparatus, the second address characterizing the external signal source. A receiver apparatus according to the Wi-Fi Display Technical Specification of the Wi-Fi Alliance, e.g., in the Version 1.1.0 (Miracast), is provided for receiving the external IP data stream.
