As for use case, if I can get it to work here, I'll take a ROKU on the road with me for hotels that have super slow internet while I have a decent 4g signal. I had read that it was via wifi direct, but can't seem to make that happen.
Really? Most everything on the topic seems to suggest otherwise:

Finally got around to verifying this with my tablet and Sony Bravia:
Turned off the router, and then cast the tablet screen to the TV. So it matters not at all to Miracast whether there is a router in the picture.
