[QUOTE="spacemanc, post: 1006282, member: 116254"] So is anyone doing this yet? It would be a great feature as I suspect that a good proportion of TV's which are sold nowadays have DLNA functionality - all the TV's in my home have it. This would mean there would be no need for several rather expensive clients.
