Access to computer on Directv.

Access to computer on Directv.  I would like to show pictures stored on my computer on the tv.  Can't find out how to do that.

This has nothing to do with DTV.

Look in your TV manual. Many "smart" TVs have this capability.

This used to be something you could do from a DTV receiver. When did they remove media share?

@bobpainter2 As noted a smart tv may be able to do it or a streaming device. My Apple TV has that capability.

Sorry but your DirecTV setup cannot access your computer. They attempted that many years ago (MediaShare) but was never fully launched so long since discontinued.

If you have a "smart" TV see if it has the option. Otherwise plug your computer into your TV.
