Home Network

Hi;
Is it possible to connect my TV down stairs to my PCupstairs so I can use my home network to view Files (Photos and Music etc...?)
I’m aware of being able to directly connect another PC to myTV and connect over the Network that way. I’m looking for (If possible) analternative to having an additional PC.

Thanks

    what os is on your pc?
    in windows 7 you just need to enable the streaming in the network setting, then the tv should see it on the network (as long as the tv is one of the dnla ones)
    tbh I'm surprised this information isn't in the instructions with the tv

    actually - I just spend two minutes looking at the lg website and it says they bundle the instructions and the software required with the tv so it should all be there
