  • Home • Support • Technical Articles • the Home Theater PC Highway
    Home • Support • Technical Articles • The Home Theater PC Highway The Home Theater PC Highway This month at CableWholesale, we will take a ride down the Home Theater PC highway. Alex, one of the programmers and network administrators behind CableWholesale, will be your guide on this PC building journey. He has built custom PCs since the early 90s. A Home Theater PC is a personal computer whose purpose is to augment one's home theater. It bridges online video, local digital media libraries and PC gaming to the TV and Stereo. You can purchase pre-built systems or go it my way and build your own. They come in a variety of flavors from Windows, Linux or even Apple TV. The complete functionality is up to the designer. They can include tuner cards so that the TV signal runs through the computer and they can have video capture cards for Tivo-like functionality. Their limits are your imagination and budget. Building a computer is not the issue for me; heck, anyone can physically build a computer. It is somewhat like playing with LEGOs, parts only plug into certain places. However, my space is extremely limited; I had no space for a monitor much less a desk, and I need to be able to play games and stream movies from the Internet. The only space I had available to me was a receiver-sized slot on my Home Entertainment rack. Therefore, I was aiming for the HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) style computer and since I already had a TV and Audio/Video equipment with HDMI inputs, I had a good idea of what I hoped to carry out.

  • FREE Internet TV: 4 Tools to Get Started to Get Started, All You Really Need Is a Computer with Internet That’S Capable of Streaming Video
    FREE Internet TV: 4 Tools To Get Started To get started, all you really need is a computer with internet that’s capable of streaming video. But, if you don’t want to be hunched over your computer every time you watch one of your favourite shows, here are some components that can really improve your experience: #1. High-speed internet connection This is essential for fluid playback and the possibility of playing HD content. You’re going to want a 5Mbps connection at the minimum, but more speed is always better to reduce loading times, increase stream quality, and allow for multiple streams at the same time. You’ll also need unlimited bandwidth (or a high bandwidth cap) to make sure you aren’t dinged with a lot of extra fees. If you have a bandwidth cap or a slow connection, you may be interested in my guide to saving money on your internet costs. #2. HDMI cable It used to be that HDMI cables cost $100 or more and no one was plugging their comput- ers into their TV. It’s much more common now – but in case you still don’t have one, you can pick up it up almost anywhere. They even sell them at Dollarama for around $3 each. Here’s a well-re- viewed cable from Amazon for $5 with free shipping. When it comes to digital cables like HDMI, you rarely need to be concerned about the quality of the cable itself. A digital signal will come through the same no matter how fancy the cable is.

Buzzwords such as "TV Everywhere" is something that both hard- ware manufacturers, content providers and television networks are pursuing to great lengths. At the core of such marketing schemes is the availability of platform-independent content consumption. In a Utopian setting, the end-user should never have to worry if he or she is currently using a smart TV, tablet, phone or computer to view a video or photos, play music or play games. Taking the concept even further, the devices should also be able to connect and communicate with each other seamlessly. Having for example a television set (first screen) controlled by a mobile phone (second screen) is commonly referred to as companion device interaction and is what this thesis has investigated. More specifically, a way of discovering and launch- ing a first screen application from a second screen application using the zero configuration discovery protocol named DIAL has been implemented into a cross-platform messaging solution.
