SEND TV via LAN or wifi around my home

[gales]

Hi there, I am a brand new user with a VU+ Duo with wifi. I have manaed to download the android app and can watch TV on my smartphone. Is there a way of doing this to a laptop via wifi or LAN. Many thanks in advance of any help.

You can do it by your web browser, connect it to your receiver by digiting your Vu+ IP.

Moreover, you will need to install VLC on your PC.

Thank you for replying. I am afraid I need a bit more help on how to do this. I have a win 7 netbook which connects to my home network via LAN or Wifi. My box is connected to my home network by LAN. As you can tell from my wording i am not experienced at this sort of thing but have managed to connect my box to the home network as a device and can move files around the network to watch where I choose but I would like to watch TV as well.

I set my smartphone up because the app did all the work for me.

I am about to put VLC player on the netbook.

Thanks for your help

You should know the IP address of your VU, since you were able to configure the android app.
Type that address (e.g. 192.168.1.15) into the address bar of your web browser on the netbook (Internet Explorer,/Firefox/Chrome/Opera whatever you are using)

You will get to the Web Interface, where you can navigate through your programs and stream using VLC.

Very many thanks. It was so easy, I didnt even have to use VLC. I can only stream SD but that is no problem. Again thanks for your patience.
