hiya,i have a starview 7.(the channels all work fine thats not an issue)

.i have heard that its possible to stream media(,i.e films,movies etc) from my pc to my starview 7 via my home network.
can anybody tell me if this is possible,and if so what server/streamer software do i need to put in my pc(windows 7 64 bit)
also what format do movies need to be for starview to read them off usb stick.and if it is possible to stream from pc then what format do movies need to be for that.

ive tried asking the great god google but to no avail.so any advice would be appreciated.thanks

you should use home streaming for svhd+ as it will work with sv6/7. but in all honesty this box doesnt support a wide variety of video formats only divx but not h264 or mkv even some divx have difficulties in playback

sorry i never got back to you mate, had a 1200 word report last night. i used this software with sv6 and its called home streaming v1.1 and you can find it on dk in the downloads section under the svhd+ home streaming name i mentioned previously. all you need is the boxes ip address
