I haven't used DNLA... as far as wireless sharing from home my PS3 connects to it wirelessly and will automatically change the input when turned on (kind of nice). My other devices had more trouble, wound up having to hard wire my Jambox (bluetooth) to the TV because I couldn't figure out how to wirelessly connect the two... same with my iPhone. User error? Possibly, but I'm not a schlub when it comes to technology and I made several varying set up attempts.

This is exactly what I am wondering, too, whether it be the Samsung or the Pioneer plasmas with DLNA. I hope someone here can report whether these sets can access media on uPnp NAS drives. That's where this interconnectivity really needs to go.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

I called a tech and he said no, and yet some people are saying yes. Does the Nero Disc (came w/ player) do anything to allow streaming from pc to player?

I have mine connected via network and also attached to that network is my NAS and it works great. From reading the manual you can also connect the NAS straight to the media player via USB, Ethernet, or SATA and all should work. As for the BD3D ISO it should play with no issues depending on how your media is being fed to the box. If over network your network has to be strong (Wi-Fi may not cut it).

Take a look at CNET.com and take a look at the LN46A750 (just a different screen size) review. They state, "Despite being billed as DLNA-compliant, the TV won't play nice with DLNA server software like Windows Media Player 11 or TVersity (both of which we tested), so you're stuck with the included proprietary software"

I have not tried that but I stream from a home server with no problems.I hope this helps.

What *I* had to do was go into Homegroups, click on ALL NETWORKS, and THEN the player showed up (as "Unknown device) - I set it to ALLOW. After that, streaming worked. Once you do that, you should see another media server listed with your PC name that DOESN'T prompt you for a password. Let me know how it goes.

If you're using the WDMyCloud from Western Digital, yes. I have that serving media to all te LGs in my house. I've also played quite a bit of digital content off a USB stick.

Never used that option as I have an HTPC and PS3 and all my other PCs and DLNA devices such as tablets that I use for this

It is able to read play most any video, image or music file directly from a windows shared directly, including those NTFS drives. Is also DLNA compatible. Love mine.

Displaying a single video steam is pretty resource-cheap on current (within the last 5 years) hardware.It really depends on what you want to do - is the Dell going to be a full-blown Windows Media Center or will you just watch shows via the HDHomeRun apps? Will you be using wired or wireless networking? IF wireless, is your access point DLNA-compatible (required)?FWIW, I'm able to use a 64GB Surface Pro and an Asus 202e to watch shows & videos just fine.

Allan, Thanks for the input. Could you clarify which TV you bought?Did you try utilizing the DLNA to connect to a PC and play movies off the PC?What are your views on the quality of the TV's picture/sound/color...etc?

I know this is an old question but I'll answer this for everyone asking the same question.Yes it can... but you need to run a DLNA / Mediashare server app on your NAS or PC. Win XP, 7, 8: needs Windows Media Connect. Linux: you'll need to install MiniDLNA or Rygel or similar.After the server app is installed and configured, you can browse and play the shared media files from the TV through the "Media Share" app on the LG TV.I recently bought this TV and haven't found concise how-to info anywhere so I've researched and figured it out on my own. I hope I've provided helpful info.

there was an answer in the thread of this product: DiskStation can serve as a DLNA compliant Digital Media Server (DMS) with the package Media Server installed, allowing you to stream media content to your devices.
