Viewing dvr recordings via DLNA client
I just got the Contour service and 6 tuner DVR installed. In scanning through the options, is there any way for an iPad, Android, PC or Mac to view the recordings. It looked like there was an option to allow a DLNA client to access the recordings but I've found no help on this.
I would like to view the recordings from on of the mentioned platforms...

Officially it only works with Playstation 3's at this time however you may be able to get it working with any device that supports DLNA/DTCP-IP.
If you have a host box close enough to your home network router/switch you don't need to use an external MoCA bridge.
Contour STB Steps:
1. Connect host box to router/switch using Ethernet cable.
2. Enter Contour diagnostics by holding down the front power button until the power light blinks, then let it go and hit it one more time, then you should see the diagnostic screen come up and be able to scroll down to the networking page to verify that it's online.
3. Scroll down to home networking and ensure that your box now has an IP address valid on your home network (i.e. 192.168.x.x although this may vary depending on your setup).
Playstation 3:
1. Ensure your Playstation 3 is connected to your home network and can access network features.
2. Scroll to the Settings tab then down to Date and Time settings, ensure that Set Automatically is set to On.
3. Back to Settings and select System Settings.
4. Scroll down and select Enable DTCP-IP.
5. Your host DVR box(s) should now be visible under the Video/Media menu by the last 6 digits of their MAC address.
6. If you have multiple host boxes on your Contour network they will also be visible via the MoCA bridge of the box connected to your router/switch.
