How to Use Time Capsule As Media Server for Your PS3

Time Capsule is a network storage hard drive that allows people to back up their Apple computers wirelessly. You can store media files like pictures, video, and music on the Time Capsule and stream them to your PS3. The Universal Plug And Play on your PlayStation 3 game console can play the files on your Time Capsule hard drive, because the Time Capsule will be on the same network as the PS3.
