Hi ajamali,
I wondered if you have figured out a way to stream from your NAS to Samsung TV? I am using Vuze and can only stream from the laptops, but even though my NAS is seen on Vuze, I cannot get to its content on Samsung...
thanks!
Aceq,
Unfortunately, I have not found a solution for it. I was looking into it and visited the Synology website and looked at my device's page and some other Synology products. I noticed a difference and that is that my model's (DS413J) page does not mention anything about it being certified for DLNA devices, so, I'm guessing that is the problem. On the other hand, Synology's DS212J mentions that it's DLNA certified.
I'm not a techie guy and don't know much about linking devices in my home network, but I think that could be the reason why I couldn't get it to work with my Samsung TV.
Hope I am wrong but for now I just use it for other purposes.

Yeah, I'd actually like to know the reason because all the threads in this forum recommending it don't really explain why or how it's better than, for eg, the WD Duos.
Please read my review on first page. I went on explaining some of the things that you are probably looking for as well.

I am looking for a NAS to back up all my video files but also have fast transfer spreed. I want at least 4 docks so I can have 2 raid 1 configurations. i ant to be able to have access to the data all over the world. So which Synology fullfill this best. Don't want to higher specs than i need.
I read you can you host your website from a NAS so I don't need a website hosting priver anymire. How does this work, have no clue ??? Do I need additional software ? The website is designed with Freeway 5.5 pro.
Just a tip : never buy from Lacie, those f....... throw away my backup disk which I send them together with a failure disk !!!!
I think any synology device would do what you are looking for. However, if you are looking for higher Read/Write speed then you must pay for a higher end model as they have bigger memory(RAM).
I am hosting my website, which is just few static html pages from my synology nas and it works perfectly. I think you can also host websites that use database such as wordpress. You dont need any additional software, everything is available in the disk station itself and the Synology's UI is amazingly simple and intuitive. You should be able to find your way around it easily.
Synology is indeed a bit expansive but it's an amazing product with SO MUCH to offer compared to other NAS devices.
