Directv with PlayOn on Tablet PC
PlayOn with Directv on Tablet PC
Details: New to forum. Just wanted to add what I found trying to watch Netflix on my tv with PlayOn software through Directv R22 satellite box using Media Share. This may be elementary for most of you, but I wanted to post for people searching forums struggling with their setup.
My gear:
Directv R22-100 0x395
Motion Computing LE1700 slate tablet pc (docked and undocked)
Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP3
Kaspersky Internet Security 2010
Wired Ethernet DSL 6.0
I could get the Netflix Instant Queue menu on tv after selecting my computer however I could never get any movies to display. BTW, I can stream movies directly to this computer in it's normal configuration directly from the Netflix website. So issue is with streaming thru Directv Media Share. The error I received was (found in Admin Tools/Event Viewer/System, double click error to get info):
"The server {A5B020FD-E04B-4E67-B65A-E7DEED25B2CF} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
Searched registry for error (start/run: regedit: Edit/Find: {A5B020FD-E04B-4E67-B65A-E7DEED25B2CF}):
Found that the program interrupting the streaming was my tablet pen. There's probably an easier and better way to do this, but just to test whether this was true, I disabled the pen in Device Manager:
Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, Human Interface Devices:
Wacom Serial Pen Tablet
Was able to watch a movie last night without any problems...well, screen saver kept coming on...but still. Will post this on the PlayOn forum as well for those searching there. Hope this helps.
