[QUOTE="spacemanc, post: 917322, member: 116254"] Hi, I'm a very happy user of mediaportal and I currently use it to serve TV around the home to various PC's and Laptops. However in my bedroom I don't have a PC. I occasionally get around this by using a Laptop connected to the TV, but I wondered if there was a way around this using DLNA. I want to be able to watch a single channel through DLNA on my TV without using any other devices. I've thought of a couple of solutions and done a little research, but I thought I'd ask here, before I spend a lot of time on what might be a dead end. I found this, which uses VLC and TVersity, which looks like it might do what I want, but looks like it goes through more programs than might be really necessary: [url]http://alenblog.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/stream-computer-desktop-to-tv-using-dlna-tversity-and-vlc/[/url] The other possibility is recording a program and then using something like Serviio to DLNA the recorded file to the TV, but I'm not sure if this is only possible once the recording is finished, which obviously would be useless for watching live TV.
