[QUOTE="eebsie, post: 1708616, member: 373543"] Hi, I have a Sony KDL-50W829B TV which I have previously using the Media Centre function to access and play media files from a WD external drive. I have just bought an Apple Airport Time Capsule and setup my wireless network via that and the TV connects to the new wireless network, no problem. However, I was hoping to be able access media files on the Time Capsule's 2TB drive to play through my TVs Media Centre. But the TV can't find this content. So, is it possible for my TV to access files in the Time Capsule? If so, if someone could explain how, that would be much appreciated. I've read various comments about there being no DLNA server on the Time Capsule - could that mean it won't work? Or is there some other way around this? I realise the Time Capsule is primarily a back up device. So is what I'm trying to do not really possible? What about if I connect an external drive to the USB port of the Time Capsule - should that work? Many thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
