Chapter 3 – Enabling broadband Internet entertainment

If you have a broadband Internet connection (minimum 256 kbps), you can stream Internet radio stations and movie trailers live from the Internet to the Streamium LCD TV. Broadband internet also provides the on-line upgrades for the Streamium LCD TV. The Internet entertainment offering is constantly being improved and new functions are added. Visit www.philips.com/streamium for the latest possibilities.

3.1How does your computer connect to the Internet?

Option A:With a wired broadband Internet connection

If you have a PC with a wired broadband Internet connection,you will have to make that Internet connection available to the wireless (or wired) network. To do this, install router/gateway software on the PC for bridging the broadband Internet connection to the wireless or wired network. As an example we have included a chapter on page 38-41 on the Philips Media Manager CD on how to enable Internet Connection Sharing from your Microsoft® Windows® operating system. For Microsoft® and other operating systems, third party router/gateway software is readily available on the market. For more information on sharing an Internet connection, read the documentation that came with the software or with your operating system.

>After bridging the internet connection to your wireless (or wired) network, you will be able to access the Internet just like your computer. Wireless base stations (and wired internet gateway routers) share their broadband Internet access automatically within the network.
