Newbie questions

Hi Guys,

I have Cloudbox in white case and I have few questions:

1. I have old Samsung TV w/o .mkv support. Could I stream with minidlna or others videos to my TV? Now, I using for streaming Allshare from my laptop.
2. I want to watch videos from another PC like in work. Now, I may only download them :(
3. Do you have step-by-step guide how to install your FW?

I don't have problem donate projects which help me :)

Ad 1. If your samsung can see and connect to universal dlna mediaserver, then yes.
Ad 2. You can connect to the nas via internet on various ways but you will need to setup your router to forward some ports
Ad 3. In the firmware download section of this forum the installation method is describe. In case of cloudbox use the fvdw-sl console to install the firmware. To be able to install addons you need to become a donator
