    hi all,

    hoping a philips employee or satisfied custoemr can help me on this.

    Can anyone tell me what the easiest way to hook a 37PFL8404 up to a network is? I thought it had wireless (being DLNA (or whatever it is called) certified) but it seemingly doesn't.

    So, would my best bet be to buy a network card for my PC and throw a netowrk cable between it and the 8404? I assume I could then share videos to the TV?

    Or should I be looking at getting a wireless router (the one i have broke a couple of weeks ago...) and throw the network cable between the TV and the router, and then set up a wireless network from my PC.

    Really, what is the easiest way to hoot the 8404 TVs up so that I can shaare video's from the PC and get the NetTV stuff?

    Cheers.

    DLNA is nothing to do with wireless, it is just a standard for media sharing over a network.
    Get a network cable and connect it between TV and router (wireless or otherwise). Your computer with media server should be connected to the same router (again wireless or wired) and it
