go into your network settings page on the receiver and click on samba, when asked if you want to install click yes. once this has installed and the box reboots you should be good to go.

Once samba is installed, go to:
Menu -> Setup -> System -> Network -> Mounts Setup -> Network Browser
and you should be able to mount any shares you create on your PC.

Have you setup samba? And if so can your PC see your Sat box? And if yes: Menu -> Setup -> System -> Network -> Mounts Setup -> Network Browser
and you should be able to see the files. You just choose what to mount and press okay.

your shared folders should show up in mediaplayer>locations, they are not needed in network browser

have to say thank you to bubbleballs for the solution to accessing folder on pc

When I use Network Browser my PC will not expand. However, in Mount Points Management i can see that the share is active.

try
Menu/setup/system/network/mounts setup/mount manager/add new network mount point
mount using...........FSTAB
active...................enable
Local share name....what ever pc is named in network browser
mount type............CIFS
server ip................Your pc ip
server share...........Name of the folder you want to share. Do not use / or \ or any file pathways. Simply type the exact name of the folder you set as share.
use as hdd.............no
Mount options.........rw,utf8
username................this is the name you gave to your pc when you first set it up.
password................this is the password of your pc user account, the one you use to log into your windows account

when thats all done should all be mounted then go to wherever your recordings are press yellow button for location and folder should be there!
thank you again to bubbleballs for this.
