To use the Home Media feature on your Hopper, 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 a compatible software.
To be able to listen to audio, view pictures and/or watch videos, you should:
1
Ensure your Hopper 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 connected to the same LAN
as your Hopper
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
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 remains connected to broadband Internet to access all the
features of the Home Media app. You can enjoy this feature on one TV at a time.
