Basic question

[kjbuk]

I am new to this site and, whilst not exactly a computer Luddite, I certainly don't understand all the acronyms used here and would appreciate some basic help.

Having read the instructions I want to use MinimStreamer on a spare laptop to play the BBC streams on my Onkyo TX NR515 receiver. I can find no reference to UPnP in the receiver manual but it does have DNLA and will play music files from my main pc. Is my receiver classed as a UPnP renderer and will it work with a laptop connected to my household mains-distributed broadband (as is the receiver)?

Thanks.
