    Galaxy S3 connecting to my home media PC

    I'm going to try out your suggestion, mlebl1h. As for streaming to my phone using PS3MS, it started working properly tonight when I got home from work!

    Galaxy S3 connecting to my home media PC

    My goal is to connect my PC and Galaxy S3. The important thing to consider is I don't care about data going from the phone to the computer. I want to stream my home media to the phone. I haven't found, through searching, a very friendly approach to doing this. I've considered using Kies, but...
