I go through the steps, but get 'Media sharing has been turned off because a required Windows setting or component has changed.' I have searched all over the internet and cant find how to fix this.

Pictures and Music work just fine… However, my DirecTV HD DVR(HR21-100) will NOT play any movies. It does show that WMV files with a small camera icon, but I keep getting the “no playable files” message after it tries to play them. I’ve even tried to convert some of these files to an mpeg2 format. Nothing works. Any ideas? Convert the movies to .VOB or get a program like Vuze that will convert things for you Directv format.

I have a wirless bridge on the DVR and for some reason it says it cannot access the media when I click on music on the DVR. If I click on videos or photos some stuff shows up but the majority doesn't. Kind of hokey. I setup a firends older Tivo hooked up to cable the other day using Tivos pc interface and it worked live a charm. I did find this link http://text.broadbandreports.com/shownews/DirecTV-Unveils-DirecTV2PC-Beta-98593 which is DirecTv's version of a pc interface. I have been trying to get this to work.
