Firstly this is not an advert nor am I attempting to sell anything.
Right that gone I have been toying with the idea recently of building and selling home theatre PCs, I have had one set up myself for quite some time now and wouldnt want to be without it its fantastic.
Has anyone on here got one or thought of getting one? What would one of these magic boxes do for me I here you cry well the list is extensive:
- Allows you towatch TV using a dedicated PC
- Allows you to pause live tv (buffering programmes to its hard disk)
- Integrated programme guide which obviouilsy shows you whats on TV and downloads ne listings from the internet
- Record TV programmes intelligently same programme any channel ect.
- Watch a wide variety of pc video formats (DivX, XVid, MPG, WMV, ....)
- Play MP3 music with on screen visualisations.
- Display picture slideshows to music if you want of your digital photos
- Listen to radio over the air of streamed oveer the internet
- Play DVDs and CDs
- Dedicated PC Remote control (like a nprmal remote) but is based on RF so you can use it through walls and from a much greater distance.
I could go on but Im bored now, there is loads of scope to add functionality though you could for example get a plugin to play flash games on your TV for example.
Anyway let me know what you think your input would be greatly appreciated.
