DLNA is the short form for Digital Living Network Alliance. It a standard for moving movies, photos, music and other media from one device to another. DLNA servers can store media in one location and, without any setup or configuration, can stream it to other DLNA compliant players, like the PS3. Its main purpose is to create an easier way for consumers to get media from one device to another.

To get started, you must find a server for your network. You can either use a Network Attached Storage, NAS, device to store all of our media in one place or use a PC with Window Media Center. This should enable all other computers and even players in the house to access the files and play them on one favourable output device like the TV. The good thing about NAS devices, despite being more expensive, is that it saves your PC from just staying connected to the server. It’s the device that connects directly to the server. The technology is not that spread out yet but just watch, its coming. Still doubting? Click here for more information.
