Are you tired of missing all the best shows on TV because you can't record them any more? Is your living space being filled up with mess and clutter? Here are two different types of gadgets that will eliminate physical clutter and bring TV viewing on the home theater system into the 21st century.
Afraid of loosing valuable living space to a mountain of DVDs or
VCRs? Hanging on to your expensive, low resolution VCR because
it's the only way to keep a record of a once-in-a-lifetime, not to be
missed documentary you've only heard about before? The digital
age has finally offered up some solutions for the home theater
system in the forms of satellite TV receivers and media centers.
How much space do your videos take up? If your
apartments/houses are anything like mine then you've got whole
bookcases and cupboards full of them. They're taking over my
house and what's worse is that I've now got two (and sometimes
three) copies of the same movie.
Another problem I have is the television has disappeared from my
life as a source for entertainment. Sure I watch the odd show
occasionally on my home theater system but it wasn't so long ago
that I recorded movies and shows to watch again and the
networks provided 99% of my entertainment needs. Thanks to the
DVD that's now an impossibility and I'm reduced to buying whole
series of dramas or sitcoms just to watch my favorite one.
So what are satellite TV receivers and media centers, where can
you find them in the home theatre and how can they solve this
problem?
The satellite TV receiver is a little box that sits on top of the TV or
computer which receives DVBT/ATSC signals and puts them on your
screen.
Satellite TV receivers most resemble VCRs in that they are able to
store tv shows for later viewing. The most famous of these is the
TiVO system.
DVB S receivers, or satellite TV receivers remove cumbersome and
problematic video cassette from the home theater system but that
isn't their biggest benefit.
Satellite receivers can very easily be programmed to record anything
at odd hours on a continuing basis (anybody ever successfully program
their VCR please let me know) and will automatically fast forward
through ad breaks.
Some units, like Chinavasion's satellite TV receiver even include
child locks to help parents make sure their children watch only
suitable programs.
Media centers, or hard disk media players as they are sometimes
called, are just a hard disk (like the one used in your computer) used
to store photos, movies and songs rather than documents.
Because everything goes onto a disk it means that you are able to fit
almost all of your VCR/DVD collection onto one small unit, freeing up
space in the house.
Some units, like the Apple TV and Chinavasion's HD wireless media
center hard disk with WiFi and PC connection also act as wireless
media centers (a hybrid between media servers and media centers) where
it doesn't only store material on its hard drive but it gives you
access to your computer as well.
Again Chinavasion has got a good model. The HD wireless media center
hard disk with WiFi and PC connection extends its versatility by
playing 11 digital video formats, multiple audio and picture codecs as
well as having a host of inputs to make sure it can be used with any
home theater system.
Bringing the home theater into the digital age is as easy as hooking a
few boxes to your system, which doesn't need to be hard if you're
using UPnP and wireless network streaming.
And with Chinavasion's range of affordable digital TV options you can
be sure that your home theater system is up-to-date in the 21st
century even if some of the more expensive parts aren't.
