Computers have transformed the living room. For most families, a simple TV and VCR on an analog cable signal no longer suffices. The modern Home Theater is nothing short of a complicated network of computer systems, operating (hopefully) in tandum. Modern LCD TV's are basically large computer monitors, with just as many options, and some now even contain an internet-connected computer themselves! All the newest gaming consoles connect to the internet on a regular basis.
With devices like Blu-Ray Players, HD-DVR TV systems, Wii's and Xbox 360's and online services such as Hulu, Pandora and Netflix becoming more and more popular, the need is rising for an expert hand in what is usually a very complicated setup.
We can even build a Media Center PC (a small desktop PC that looks like a DVD player) that can be controlled with a wireless mouse and keyboard, remote or smartphone, and can display all your favorite movies and pictures, play all your favorite music, and access all your online services. Watch movies and TV shows on Netflix or Vudu with the push of a button! Use your big screen to generate beautiful computer visualizations to the tune of your favorite Pandora stations! Turn your TV into an advanced media nexus today, for much less than you might think.
