Streaming from internet to LG TV

Hello,
I've got my LG TV set up to accept streaming video from files on my desktop. The connection is via ethernet, and two powerline adaptors. What I'd like to do is stream internet content from my PC to the TV. I got a Netflix free trial recently, but can't get an activation code because my TV doesn't support it yet. I can get the movies streamed to my desktop and watch them there, but would rather see them on my TV. Is there a way to stream from my desktop to the PC via ethernet cable?

Your tv needs client software in order to view streamed movies. If your tv doesn't have a built in netflix program or a hulu+ program or something of the sort (tv that supports DLNA), then you can't stream video.

I think windows media player version 11 or 12 supports media streaming. If your tv supports DLNA as stated, it should see your computer as a media server if you have media player set up properly.

My PS3 supports DLNA and sees my computers with no extra setup required on the PS3. All I did was turn on the option in media player to allow streaming to all devices on the LAN.

Ahhhh, must be version 11. I just found this. It shows vista, but I've done this in win 7 with no issues.

I also found this and many more just by googling "dlna server for pc".

Hi Hawkeye, and thanks again. I followed those links. TVMobili is working on a months's trial and it seems fine. But as far as I can see, it justs streams my media from the desktop to the TV, and Vuze and Nero 4 and Mezzmo and TVersity, all of which I've tried, do exactly the same. My Media Player 11 gives me no extra options when I check the 'share' box in Library, so I can't do much with that. Even so, it doesn't seem to offer what I want, which is to stream live video from the net (like I said, Netflix was just one example) which I can get as far as my PC, then down my ethernet connection to the DLNA enabled TV. I was maybe hoping to get football on...
I've been googling 'stream video from net to PC to TV' for ages, but nothing gets me there.

Hi,
Just an update.. Nothing I've tried so far works. I can watch internet streams on my PC, right there on the monitor, but nothing so far can help with that last step, which is pushing it all down the ethernet cable to the TV.

True enough. Twonky Beam got close, but while it recognises jpgs and gif files, it doesn't seem to see the movie that's playing under its very nose....
I'll keep trying. I appreciate your showing interest.

I tried a lot of the stuff above without success and then got a Xenta hdmi transmit/receive setup that works fine. I connect the hdmi out from my machine upstairs to the Xenta transmitter and the receiver downstairs to one of the hdmi sockets on my LG tv and it's spot on. I use it mainly to watch football from internet sites. But it should be a doddle to do it via Ethernet since the tv can already do that with YouTube, iplayer etc. Why not from my computer? One day. In the meantime I've got a Raspberry Pi on order. That runs under Linux, has its own browser etc, a full hdmi output and costs £30. It's very small and I'll just stick it behind the tv and remote control it with my iPad. It'll save me having to mess about upstairs switching hdmi from monitor to the Xenta and it costs practically nothing.
