I have a Sony TV from 2000 that the kids use in the basement. Mezzmo works on two Samsung TV's but not on the older Sony TV and not on an older Magnavox TV from about 2005 (the latter can display HD). For these two TV's I use a DSM-510 media hub from Dlink on one and a direct Cat5 cable connection on the other. I have Playon, Tversity, and Windows Media server showing up from a pc used as a media server. I want to use Mezzmo on the two TV's where Mezzmo is not showing up. For the life of me, I can't figure out the correct Sony TV or Magnavox profile to use. I have just tried a few (first one, NTSC for example for Sony) but nothing shows up on the TV (the DSM-510 menu doesn't list Mezzmo as an available server; Mezzmo was there once and it appears ghosted out-just not currently available.

So...are these TV's too old to use with Mezzmo? Samsungs work and the profiles are there. What's the word on the other two TV's? Does anyone have suggestions about what profiles to choose? One last thing-in Mezzmo settings, the ip numbers of the two DSM-510 media hub boxes for the SONY and the Magnavox do show up. It is the profile that I think keeps the two TV's from being connected through to Mezzmo.

Any help would be appreciated!

Oops, I put on my glasses and found the dsm-520 profile in the list and this is close enough to my dsm-510 hub. Both TV's are now showing Mezzmo. Problem solved and this was a case of my lack of familiarty with the software. Thanks everyone.
