What is Connected Home?

I can't seem to find any information on it online, and (shock!) the Verizon rep was less than helpful. And what is a renderer?

Where are you seeing this "Connect Home"?

It's one of the applications in the Programs folder on the Verizon Omnia i910. There is a green icon, and it asks for a DLNA Server and for me to select a renderer from a list that is empty. When I Google it, I only get a list of pages previewing the Omnia and indicating that this is one of a list of new features (dated in the fall of 200

OT: There's that

bug again. Mods can someone change the Smiley from"8" then ")" to " " then "8" then ")" then " "?

Most Smileys use leading and trailing spaces to prevent unintentional Smiley display.

You should find what you're looking for here. 129 Hits Googling only Verizon.com.

I believe it's an interface for media sharing with other connected devices on the home network via WiFi. Other connected devices may be limited to Verizon FIOS devices and/or services however.

This app sets up the phone to stream your phone's media over WiFi (music, pics/videos) to any DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatible device, like a Playstation 3 or any Windows PC for example. What this will let you do, then, is access the stuff stored on your phone (pictures from a weekend trip) and show them off on the TV without having to copy them over to anything.

You need a Samsung TV that has DLNA support...
