I have no idea if my TV supports dlna: I'm coming to the conclusion that 
it doesn't since there's no mention of it in Sony's printed 
documentation or internet support webpages. It makes me wonder what the 
purpose of the ethernet socket & setting of ip address (when ethernet is 
checked, the TV checks the connection & internet connection. Anyway, 
I'll try Bubble & MediaHouse.
