Please help the Link provided in the FAQ dont work...

How do I network my DVR?
DIRECTV on Demand utilizes the same network connection as Media Share. Simply follow the instructions in the Media Share Quick Start Guide (http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/content%20Page.jsp?assetId=P4310202) from DIRECTV to get your receiver connected to your home network.

Thanks Earl..

Sucks that you must have Intel Viiv.. Any Chance that Direct TV will just required a PC and not a stupid chip!?

That is only for Media Share... and is DirecTV's "officially" supported media server.

There are at least 5 other ones that you can use...
See the HR20 forum for details.

The ViiV aspect of that document, has ZERO to do with DoD

I've also updated the FAQ to be more accurate since the link has changed.

Earl:

Please confirm my understanding of your previous post; if I hook up the HR20 to a non-Viiv PC, I'll be able to use the VOD features, but just not the media/file sharing aspects?

You don't need ViiV for either. I don't have ViiV and am able to use VOD and Media Share.

Exactly...

The ViiV aspect... is just another media server...
There are several non-ViiV media servers, that will allow you to access the media/file aspects
