using DLNA on Desire Hd via xbox 360

Hi,

I am looking for some info regarding the use of DLNA on my Desire HD, so I can stream media to my TV.

My tv does not have DLNA, and I am aware that HTC have an adapter to give mt TV this capability, but its about 150 euro:eek:

Anyway, since the Xbox360 has DNLA, I have read that its possible to connect the HD to the xbox, and then on to the TV using DLNA.

So far, I can connect my laptop to the xbox and in turn, the TV and stream movies etc all wireless using DLNA, but my phone doesnt seem to this straight forward, any idea?

Thanks

if you want to make your phone appear as a DLNA/UPnP source then you can install Twonkyserver or similar on it. That will make it share out your photos etc and other devices will be able to stream from it.

If you want to stream via DLNA/UPnP from your other sources, then you need a media viewer.
