Orb


I swear that this is the way to stream media. This is what you do. Go to http://www.orb.com. Download the software from the downloads page. (Direct link to downloads here.) Install the software. Create an account. Login from PC web browser at my.orb.com to test. Next use the Wii's web browser to go to my.orb.com, login and enjoy! You can now access all of your drives and file from any internet connection as long as Orb is running on your home PC. I recommend using the File Browser if you have NAS because all of the pictures, music and videos on NAS don't show up when you go to Videos, Audio or Photos. You should tweak the settings both on your PC by right clicking on the Orb icon in the system tray and clicking Configuration and by changing the settings online by clicking on settings. I love this and I spent 2 hours yesterday watching TV shows I recorded on my big screen.
