Streaming from pc to ps3?

Hi ppl, I'm new here so be gentle! I have searched for the past few hours and can't seem to find a solution to a problem. Is there any way using wifi to stream what I'm watching from my pc to my ps3. I have a sky player account and would like to watch through the ps3 what I'm seeing on my pc screen, any help hugely appreciated!

Afraid not. Only way to achieve what you want is to connect your PC directly to your TV.

The PS3 will play live web streams from youTube, iPlayer, TVCatchup.com and a few others but not at this time Sky Player as it uses Microsoft Silverlight which the PS3 does not have (and is unlikely to ever get being a Microsoft product)

The other alternative is to stream video files stored on your PC to the PS3 which is detailed much further in the PS3 media guide linked in my Sig.

Thank you for the reply uridium, I use tversity to stream movies etc at the moment. I suppose the only route is s-video to s-video and use pc sound? Cheers.

If that's the only connectivity on your TV then yes afraid so.
