Recommendations for using DLNA
Horizon’s DLNA functionality is currently limited. If you possess a large number of photos, videos or audio content, the box may freeze or respond very slowly.
We recommend you use a LAN cable to connect Horizon to your home network or else use fewer than 1,000 files. If your box exhibits problems despite that, we recommend restoring Horizon’s factory settings and forgoing use of the media playback function from the home network for the time being.
We are working with our technology partners to extend the number of compatible formats and improve the cataloguing of media content from the home network. However, we cannot currently say exactly when there will be a solution.
