    Local Networking TVs to Server

    I have 3 Televisions each capable of N type Wifi that mostlty use just Netflix. I would like to be able to get them to access my Ubuntu 10.4 server So that I can watch movies stored om my drive

    My sets access the network through a Roku box, Blueray, ans one does it directly. Are there apps that could access my local server? or even a cheap apliance that could do it. It would be nice to beable toi access my Hard drives without having to build 3 more Ubuntu boxes

    DLNA server
    There are many..
    MythTV backend (for TV recordings etc) acts as a DLNA server..
    Samsung TVs seem to work better than most.

    Would think wired network would be better than wifi

    I'm still looking around, and you gave me some decent Google fodder (DLNA) to search on.
    I don't have an easy way to run CAT 5/6 all over the place, but I am hard wired from the router to the server. Ive streamed video from my server over wireless without any issues though.
