Most likely, TCP/IP and SMB ("Client for Microsoft Networking").
The usual syntax is something like

\\some.i.p.address\sharename
or
\\servername\sharename

I'm assuming by digital TV, you mean cable box or Tivo or something. A lot of those boxes have ports that are on the unit but not enabled by the TV provider; that stuff is up to them. In some cases there's a way to turn that stuff on and in some there isn't.
