What is the benefit of connecting a DVR to a home network? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Connecting your DVR to your wireless network allows you to transfer and view media files, like digital photos and music, from your PC and view them on your DVR. For example, most DVRs allow you to store and organize your digital photos and view them on your TV. Some even let you play MP3 files directly from your DVR.
Here is the hardware you'll need to connect your DVR to an existing wireless network. (The following items are typical hardware needed to hook your DVR to your wireless network. Actual steps and some hardware may vary according to your network setup.)
- Compatible wireless USB network adapter for your DVR. Consult your DVR manufacturer for more information about compatible network adapters.
- USB cable (to hook the wireless USB network adapter to your DVR).
- After you hook up the wireless USB network adapter, you’ll need to configure your DVR. For TiVo DVRs, follow the on-screen guide for steps to configure your DVR to connect to your wireless network. For other DVRs, consult your owner’s guide.
