Nexus 7 - Accessing files from the network

I keep movies and TV shows on my Apple TimeCapsule.

To stream or download onto the tablet, I use ES File Explorer (free).

Change "Local" to "LAN" and you'll see all the local computer shares on your wi-fi

I've been finding that I can't stream higher quality shows and movies on to the tablet over my wi-fi. They tend to be jittery. When this happens, I simply copy the files onto the Nexus 7 and view it directly.
