OK thanks. Turns out Serviio had just stopped working. Uninstall and reinstall and we off again. Don't want to do that every day!

Do the powerline adaptors work OK through extension leeds? I don't have any spare wall plugs near my kit. Anyway I think I will give up. This morning, although the Humax is on the wifi fine it cannot find the Serviio server. It just says connecting and then no server found. I have tried...

Mind you the Humax says I am getting wifi connection at 54 Mbps. Is powerline going to be much faster than that?

Thanks for your help colliv. I have put the dongle on an extension and this helps but does not totally cure the stop/starts. Pausing for five minutes at the start does not seem to help. (It is just a short 2minute video). I suppose the next step would be to use TP-link powerline adaptors. So...

OK. made a short MPEG4 home video and loaded it into Servio. Found it on the Humax and it plays but not continuously. Stops and starts. Tried MPEG2 but that was worse. My wifi is pretty fast and stream i-player no problem. Anything else I can try?

I am really interested to find out just what it will do. But it is true that I am much more likely to want to stream pictures and videos from my PC to the Humax than the other way round. Servio seems to do the job. I don't have a smart TV so I can't go direct there.

Anyway Servio seems to work. Thanks Colirv. I'm still finding my way round it.

But I still find it frustrating that although the HDR-2000T is shown on the network by my PC it is still not found by WMP in media sharing. The laptop on the network shows up OK.

Thanks for your help

Thanks. The fog is lifting very slightly! I have switched on Content Share and FTP server. I go to windows media player on my computer and go to media sharing. The HDR 200t is not listed. It is however shown as a networked item in "network" On the humax if I go to music>>storage>>network my PC...

OK, I bought the Humax because my old video recorder packed up. I can access the guide, select channels and pause live programmes. I can record and play back. I have connected to the internet and found i-player and u-tube. Now what? I understand the Humax can interact with my computers on the...

Thanks for your help. I have changed the password and I am up and running.

Thanks OK it looks as if I am going to have to change the password. Wife will be pleased. I have to change the password on a laptop, 2 tablets and 2 phones! Anyway never tried to change a password. Can anybody talk me through it?

Just bought the wi-fi dongle with a very brief installation guide. Inserted the dongle. Humax found my wi-fi OK. Accepted the password. Then after "connecting to wi-fi network " ran for a few minutes I got the message "connection failed check your settings and try again". Looking at the internet...
