Can I stream movies from my pc to this device through my network?

No, audio streaming only. Formats and providers are changing so fast that you'd be best off getting a roku/amazon/google streaming stick or device anyway.

Thanks for your question. This should pass the audio and video from your PC or a ROKU or similar decive and pass it to your video display and your speakers. This is a fantastic sounding receiver. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Denon dealer.

You might be able to use vlc player. Vlc player is on itunes market. It worked wireless for streaming from another wifi based flash drive. The one from sandisk. VLC supports all kinds of formats, though the stream speed will affect whether or not its watchable.

Hi Bruce, if your network hard-drive have a DLNA feature, yes you can play your vídeos e photos remotely. There a lot of APP with DLNA feature.

No, there is no way for it to access your laptop or your network. You need to copy the files onto an SD memory card or USB memory, then play the files on this player.

Hey Wayne. Really, all it does is take a cable TV or off-the-air TV signal into your PC via a USB port and Windows Media Player, and play it on the screen of your computer monitor. Windows Media Player (or the included player) performs a channel search which checks for available channels, locking them in for your selection and viewing. There is no wireless or networking function to the thing, although I suppose you could set up network streaming and sharing to other computers over a wireless (or ethernet) network just like any other media on your PC. Me, I take the signal from my HDMI-out port on my PC and watch over the air TV on my big screen HDMI-in from my computer. Hope this was helpfull to you. Hey Wayne.

A question: Will this device enable me to use Netflix streaming on my Toshiba HDTV? I have wireless internet in my home.

No it cannot by itself. The unit will only stream from your main hard drive inside your computer (usually drive C:). You can stream from an external hard drive connected to your router if you have a media server program that was included with your router's software or with a third party program such as Twonky. However, the formats the player will read are limited and even then it may not read those formats.

You can connect to the Internet if you have a wireless router. Go to settings and follow prompts. You'll need to enter your IP address. Thus it should stream movies. I don't use it. I can stream movies on my Smart TV, so I just use the BD-F5100 for playing Blue Ray DVDs.

Yes this is possible. I have connected my hard drive to wd router and is able to play the movies from my sony blu ray player and logitech revue. This is not certified dlna but it supports upnp which is the actual protocal behind DLNA. Please also remember that the files will play only if your tv/player supports the codecs

You can stream Netflicks directly from the TV. You do not need to connect another device to the TV

You can view the video over your local area network (thru a computer on your LAN) but if you were hoping to plug a VGA or HDMI cable into the box, it will not display the video feed. Also, if you get this device, make sure to look on ubiquiti's website and learn how to update the software. It's easy, you just need to SSH into the box and run some commands.

No you can not do it. I just tried to see if it can work because I have the same PC setup as you and the router doesn't see the network created by the SD card. I can only see the network with my phone and tablet.

I have a Roku (purchased from Netflix for $99), however I do not have a wireless router, lol. So since my TV is about 25 feet from my PC, I run an ethernet cable between the 2 whenever I want to "stream" movies from Netflix or Amazon. Tricky, but it works.

The model I received has an HDMI port where you can get a video streaming.With usb only port, you can try a USB to HDMI port converter.
