I have a Sony XBR x850B  2014 TV and it has wi-fi direct.

I also have a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet ( original version ).
On the Surface forums they say they display their Surface on their TV.

I start the TV and go to the INPUTS and select Mirroring. Then on the Surface I go into Devices and select Project and select Duplicate.

The TV says it is mirroring the Surface but I just get  black screen.
But, yesterday, I disabled AVAST's shields and, for just a moment, I saw the Surface's screen displayed on the TV and then the screen went black again.

I believe AVAST Premier is somehow interfering with wi-fi direct connections.

Can someone tell me how to get it to allow wi-fi direct connections?
