So, my hopper was installed today. There's this handy item in the Menu called Local Media (or something similar), I wanted to get this working. This thread will keep track of that research.
My quest to get DLNA working on the Hopper...

I have tried both Tiversity and Serviio on my pc. Neither are being seen by the Hopper, no devices found. I've verified both are on the same network. I can ping my Hopper's IP address from my pc. There are no firewalls turned on on my pc.
Interesting...

Ssame story here. But I'm not sure if it should work the first day or not. A lot of things on the 922 took a couple of days. And I had a similar problem on my 922 last week. It had been a while and several power failures which caused router reboots and nothing was showing on the 922. Did a power cord reset and there they were. I might try that in a day or 2 on the Hopper.
Trying to get this going myself....
I have a PS3 and a PC with PlayOn in the same network. They see each other fine, but the Hopper doesn't see either of them. I'm able to ping from the PC to the Hopper, so communication is good, just nothing on the Hopper in the device list. I'll definitely be following this thread.

I have been on this quest for a while now, LOL

As I already have DLNA functionality on my Logitech Revue, Panasonic BDP, and Yamaha AVR, I'm willing to wait for it on the Hopper.
It would be nice to get some official word on that....at least for DLNA the area 'appears' active. I've also noticed some folks with Hopper's reporting it currently working for them.
I haven't read any reports of it working correctly. I've only seen reports of it working with a few select DLNA devices. If it worked correctly, it would work with any DLNA-compatible devices, including Win7 PC's with no added software.
Ditto for me. PS3 and PlayOn are not seen by my Hopper. Installed yesterday. It's odd that it doesn't work because I did see it on Scott G's post. He did say that DLNA might be hit or miss with 203 though. I hope they get it to function soon.

My Win7 machine is not seen by either hopper. My 922 could see it and I have not changed anything except for installing the hopper system.

Exactly. That is why I say that the Hopper is not DLNA-compliant, even if it works with a handful of DLNA devices.
You may be correct, but Dish is stating on the Home Media screen on the Hopper says it works with PlayOn...I can't get that to work even. So hopefully it is supposed to be DLNA-compliant, but it's just not working correctly, and that's why PlayOn won't work either.
I made a call to Dish Technical support this afternoon re: a couple of issues/questions I had with my new Hopper/Joey system. She told me that DLNA is going to come in an update (including Bluetooth, PS3, PlayOn, etc.) to be released very soon and it's currently not fully supported. Maybe that's why it works for some and not others. That's the price we pay I guess for being an early adopter.
She also confirmed that I would be able to do a search in my program guide in 24-48 hours (it's been about 30 since mine was first activated).

I'm using TVersity on my WHS machine and I can play content just fine from the Hopper. No real need for it though because I either use my Yamaha AVR or Logitech Revue.
As you have seen in my review I have DLNA running on mine. I noticed when it does not work I go reset my router and then it starts to work again.
