Unhappy Can i view computer files on a television, wirelessly.

I have lots of files on an external hard drive connected to my desktop computer, PHOTO's, AUDIO files and VIDEO files also some dvd t_s files.

I was told i can view them wirelessly on my Samsung L E D television.

But after weeks of trying i am no nearer,
can anyone suggest any program or anything that might help.
Thank you.
David.

What exactly are you trying to do? Samsung smart TVs can connect wirelessly to your home network but their functionality depends on what apps you have loaded to them.

An Xbox 360 would be quite expensive! I'd be tempted to get something that has DLNA enabled so that you can view files over the network

You need an app on the TV which can play the files you mention. You'll probably have to pay for this.
