Home Theater
A Home Theater PC or Media Center PC as some call them are computers that are setup to play all of your favorite Media, CDs, DVDs ,Online Content. These PCs are designed to replace a DVD/CD player, VCR, or Laserdisc and much more. They replace the way you view your movies, by hooking a HTPC up to your favorite TV and audio system. This way you have a great way to enjoy all the digital content you have in your home, such as, home videos, pictures, and movies. On demand services are becoming more popular and eventually will be the main way most of us will watch TV and movies. Services like Joost, Veoh TV, and Vongo give you instant access to movies and TV programs when combined with an HTPC you can sit back and watch any content that is available at any time.
Sling Box
This is a clever concept that was cooked up from the brains of Sling Media. It allows you to stream audio and video from you home to any device you have anywhere in the world. All that is required is internet access, and recently they added PDA’s to the list of supported hardware. This is a must if you do not want to miss your favorite sports event or TV show while on the go.
