www.orb.com download the software on ur pc at home. Set what files folder you will share make it easy for yourself on you r pc label one folder music, one videos etc. if you have a tv tuner built in make sure it recognizes it. Go to orb.com on ur ppc and sign in. Then you will see a browser layout of thses items and tcpmp should play them. Works better than slingbox, trust me i have used them all.

I doubt it. I tried to use ORB a year ago and my pci tv tuner card was not supported. You might want to check their website first to see if it's on the compatibility list before making a purchase.

You do need to have a hardware tuner card to get it to work. I have been using orb for awhile and its pretty cool...

But there are occasional buffering issues and other glitches. But it does work.

How do you get TCPMP to be the default media player for this? All I can use is WMP.
