SING THE
To use the Home Media feature on your Hopper with Sling HD DVR, press the MENU
button and select the Home Media tile from the MAIN MENU. A list of compatible devices
should be displayed.
The Home Media application connects your compatible digital-media devices together.
These devices are designed to work together even though they come from different
manufacturers, and may include audio/video systems, Blu–ray Disc™ players, digital
cameras, game consoles, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, personal computers
and mobile devices running compatible software.
To be able to listen to audio, view pictures and/or watch videos, you should:
1
Ensure your Hopper with Sling HD DVR is connected to your local area network (LAN)
and has been assigned a valid IP address.
2
Have compatible media-server software running on a device that is connected to the same
LAN as your Hopper with Sling HD DVR.
3
Confirm access to the media server is not blocked by a firewall or security software.
4
Select the Device List item from the drop–down menu on the Home Media screen and
refresh the list to see all your available compatible devices.
5
Optionally, you can select the Settings item from the drop–down menu to change the
defaults for playing slideshows and/or audio.
Make sure your Hopper with Sling HD DVR remains connected to broadband Internet to
access all features of the Home Media app. You can enjoy the feature on one TV at a time.
