Please excuse my ignorance in advance. I'm relatively new to all this and my search has resulted in a lot of frustration.
Currently, I have DirecTV talking to my home network. I can see the movies saved to the DVR on my notebook via Media Center. All well and good. However, I'm stuck at this point.
Attempts to play movies from the DVR to the notebook results in a hung program. In other words, it looks as if it's attempting to play the movie, but nothing happens. I get a bit of drive activity and then nothing.
What started this whole project off was my desire to stream movies from my notebook through the DirecTV interface to the 47" LCD that's hooked up to it!
So. Where do I go from here? I can see the DVR. But attempts to do anything else with the connection has resulted in nothing but frustration. Suggestions?
Equipment:
Toshiba P305D
