Of course I've tried that. The Bravia shows a whole bunch of (mostly useless) video providers, also Youtube, Netflix, Amazon etc. That's not the point. If there's a provider they don't have an app for then the only option is to use the clunky built-in browser. You also get to authenticate by typing your password with a TV remote. Hours of fun. There's also a barely functional Plex client running under an Opera app in the TV (only works with the paid Plex subscription). The alternative is to use XMBC on a dedicated PC. There are lots of those around, but that means a) dropping another $100 or so, and b) having another bit of hardware to plug in and maintain. Since I already have an i7 16GB desktop with a fast Internet connection, I was hoping to reduce the complexity rather than increase it. > Furthermore have you tried the feature-rich DLNA compliant UPnP free media server? > http://serviio.org/features > streams content from online sources, like RSS feeds, live audio/video streams, web page content I did have a brief try at it a while back. Seemed to be a lot of trouble to set up and I don't think I got it working.
