You mean as a movie from your pc to tv via your 800 ?
For initial set up, on your remote press green button and choose vlc player, Add server then in server address put the ip address of your pc in and save.

When you want to watch a movie ,run vlc on your pc. Go to view\ add interface\ web interface. Then on your remote press green and go to vlc. The contents of your pc will show up on your tv. Choose your movie and press ok on remote to play.

EDIT : Vlc is preinstalled on Nabilosat blackhole. Above is instructions for playing via Nabilosat
