Hi Everyone,
I am using a NAS for storing all my media files (photos, DVDs, music etc) and was interested in the possibilty of using this drive to stream the info around my house but all the systems I can find rely on a PC to at least facilitate this. Are there any systems that would be able to read the NAS directly on need the PC to be on? Also are there any systems that would take the signal from my rooftop aerial and stream that back to the PC/NAS so that I could effectively use the PC/NAS as a PVR (the PC has a TV tuner card but the reception on it's local aerial is rubbish and the rooftop one is much better)? Cheers |

Using the nas to store pvr info should be an easy one. Just use media
center and set the nas as the default storage location. As far as streaming from the nas, I'm not sure what you want to stream to, but anything that is also dlna certified (1.5 I think) should recognize the nas.

update. which NAS box do you have? On Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:05:02 -0000, "Endulini" wrote: Vista Home Premium and yes the NAS is dlna certified. Barb Bowman MS-MVP http://www.digitalmediaphile.com http://digitalmediaphile.wordpress.com |
