How does DLNA work with the 2.1 update? My mates TV has DLNA capability and I have no idea how to connect to it. Both his TV and my phone are on the same LAN.
try imediashare from bianor.com , but free version has few limitations ....
My Desktop PC has a TV car in it and I record and watch shows through it, at the moment I can stream the recorded TV shows and other videos to my Nexus 10 using ES File Explorer.
However I am curious to find out if there is a way of streaming the live TV as it plays on my Desktop PC, over the wi-fi to my Nexus 10?
I know VLC player has some streaming capabilities with TV cards.. don't know how effective this will be?
Is their an easier way, other programs designed for this?
I do use TV Catchup app on my tablet to watch live TV sometimes but I would like a solution that is just utilizing the wi-fi and not the internet connection!
Cheers.

I would think a media extender app would be more useful. Like the how the xbox 360 app works. That would take care of the storage issue and the copy protection. Anyone know of one or a reason that wouldn't work?
1. Remote Media Center App + Remote Potato: Have not tried it and it may not be compatible with jellybean 4.2 according to the reviews.

2. XBMC will connect to hdhomerun tuners but you will need to provide a file with a list of channels for your particular cable provider.

Xbmc can connect to various backend tv servers (android app are still beta), like mediaportal tv server, and you don't need any additional files provided that you setup tv server right. Other option are using mediaportal and ampdroid app, but you have to setup mediaextender program in addition, on pc.

Try out "Splashtop 2 - Remote Desktop"

Hello!
Is it possible (in any way) to stream desktop PC to android device?
I am talking 1080p with solid movie stream capabilities
I am aware of Splashtop but movies are not playing fluently via my wifi
thank you!
partly solved: could be done via Miracast, if THIS would be possible.
Hi all,
I have a network drive with my media library attached to the router (belkin 600 play). Also I have Xperia z tablet and dlna enabled Samsung TV. Router is not a dlna media server.
I need a player for android that can
1)see not just servers but all shares of the local network. (bs player can do this the way I would like to)
2) play all formats is "a must"
3) cast playback to TV (as a dlna server)
So as for now there are tons of players with different combinations of these features, but none combine them all. I wonder if bsplayer pro can play to TV, but not ready to pay 7$ to get Answer))))
Thanks
