Read more: Stream your own home media: A complete guide to DLNA and UPnP They support a media streaming protocol called DNLA or UPnP that basically make your NAS drive visible to the Smart TV. This only works with Smart TVs since most of them have WiFi built-in.įor a better user experience, make sure you NAS drive supports media server such as Plex or Kodi. Then the TV connects to the router wirelessly via WiFi. So you can connect the NAS drive to the WiFi router via an RJ45 Ethernet cable. Instead they come with one or two Giga Ethernet ports. Both the NAS drive and Smart TV must be connected to the same wireless network usually created by a WiFi router. Having a powerful computer and a strong internet connection will also help ensure that your live stream looks just as good as what you get from hooking an HD antenna directly into your TV.The most common way to stream content from NAS drive to a Smart TV is wirelessly. Just remember that your computer is acting as a media server, so if you shut it off, you won't be able to watch or record anything, even though your antenna and DVR tuner are still hooked up. That's it! You can now watch and record live broadcast TV to your heart's content. (Older smart TVs won't, for obvious reasons neither will PS4, for reasons that are less obvious to us.) Just be aware that while most Plex platforms support Live TV, not every single one does. Download Plex for your platform of choice, log in and then navigate to Live TV, just as you'd normally navigate to your Movies or Music folder.
If your preferred Plex platform is a streaming player, game console, smart TV or mobile device, you'll have to go through one additional step. Setup is now done, and you can enjoy live TV on your computer or Shield TV. Again, the program will do this in the background if you don't do it now, so you can't screw this up either way. You can start watching programs right away, but if you wait a little while (somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes, in our experience), you'll know exactly what programs are playing as soon as you start using Plex.
