Re: DNLA servers
Hi Hugh Personally if all your content is sourced using iTunes I would continue using the Apple TV. But I would plug the TV into the Internet temporarily to do a firmware upgrade. Additionally as some members have already mentioned above You should be able to use all the networks catch up services without running a media server. You most likely already have ABC's iView Which will appear when you plug in the Internet, and a firmware upgrade should make SBS's catch up services and PLUS7 show up as well these features were added to older select BRAVIA models in firmware upgrades. -- Regards Kyle - Kyle Kreusch: - This E-Mail Was Dictated Using MacSpeech Dictate, [i] - -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au
Re: DNLA servers
Hi Hugh If it is a 'Smart Tv' you should be able to connect it to the Internet using a wifi USB dongle or via the Ethernet port. A DLNA server is only required to stream the media from your computer, or other compatible device, to your tv. Once the tv is connected to the internet, depending on the tv of course, you should be able to access services such as ABC's iView, various 'apps' and a browser.

RE: DNLA servers
Thanks for suggestions, but although it has an ethernet port, it doesn’t seem to be a “smart” tv in the sense it can actually browse the internet on its own. It is a generation before true smart tv’s in that it utilises the dlna technology.

Re: DNLA servers
Hi Hugh, OK, given that I always bullshit best when unencumbered by any real knowledge of the facts ;o) a couple of thoughts: I suspect I will only get the same stuff I get from my apple tv in terms of connectivity, if that is the case then I don¹t really need to do it. Not necessarily, I believe some TVs do let you directly view ABC¹s iview which AppleTV doesn¹t and which, in my book, is definitely worth sorting if possible. I would have thought that the dnla server would have been needed to access media on your home network, rather than the internet stuff?? In which case, you probably do have that side covered by your AppleTV. Have you tried just connecting the ethernet port on your TV to a spare port on your internet router and seeing if that gives you any additional internet content? As I say, just a couple of thoughts based more on my gut feel than any real knowledge ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
