Networking a television

[Mutley]

I've just bought a Samsung UE40B7020W LED TV. It came with some software that I have installed on my PC that allows you to share files between the pc and the TV (mostly pictures and video).

I've plugged a USB stick that came with my Netgear wireless router into the TV but I can't seem to get it to register on the network. Any ideas?

Doesn't the PC have to be DLNA compliant?

Also if you RTFM

You'd know that it will only work with the Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter WIS09ABGN (sold separately)

Shouldn't have any problem with a wired connection.

Telly looks a nice bit of kit

I did RTFM but it seemed to me that any wireless LAN adapter would work?

I've ordered the Samsung one now to see if it helps

Telly is great and the Sky+ HD is being installed on Friday

I'm sorry that is beyond my capabilities What does it mean

Basically it means you can stream movies/audio and piccy's to your TV, it sounds like the software that came with the TV would do this bit for you, but if it doesn't theres plenty of app's about that will do it.

The DLNA part is an industry standard for streaming media so isn't alot of media programmes are now complient, IE windows player, VLC, iTunes (I would imagine) real player you get the hint...

so there is a lot of media programmes that are complient
