Default Media Streaming

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.

even if it is certified, it may not be 1.5 certified. check for a firmware
update. which NAS box do you have?
