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.
3.1 How 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.
OR
Option B: Through a wireless base station
Wireless base stations (and wired internet gateway
routers) share their broadband Internet access
automatically within the network.
> The Streamium LCD TV will be able to access the
Internet just like your other wireless or wired network
computer(s).

This applies to both a
wired and a wireless
