I just purchased the HR21 model HD-DVR from Directv. I also just learned that you can connect it to your home computer & look at photos or listen to music. Listening to my albums thru my home theater system without having to deal w/ cds is an awesome realization!! I know that in order for this to work your computer must be Intel VIIV-capable. Mine isn't. Short of buying a new computer, does anyone know of a way I could make this work? If not, I'll end up buying a new capable computer, but if I didn't have to that it would be great. Has anyone here tried this new technology? I would love to hear from anyone who has. Thanks.

Daily updated movies and television portal, free live tv channels , best live television portal, well organised, alot of channels, TV's for everyone! Bandwidth is not a problem, since we have a high bandwidth server.

Hey Dude, the Intel Viiv uses UPNP to make this happen. I believe it is generic UPNP stack but I am not sure. Since I am involved in DLNA (which is UPNP on crack), I will talk to Intel tomorrow to see what I can find out since Viiv is dying.
