• Product Overiew
  • Most of us can't imagine living without a computer (or two) in our homes. Today's PC functions in a myriad of ways, yet it is still a device that usually resides in the confines of our home office.
  • To get the most out of our computers, wouldn't it be nice to move their entertainment capabilities beyond the limits of a desktop monitor, PC sound system, and upright office chair? Enter the HP MediaSmart Connect, an advanced Digital Media Receiver that turns any HDTV into a next-generation connected TV. The HP MediaSmart Connect allows you to enjoy your favorite photos, music, movies and videos - wired or wirelessly - from multiple PCs around the home to the "big screen" in the heart of the home. The HP MediaSmart Connect provides two modes for presentation of entertainment media: MediaSmart and Extender for Windows Media Center mode. By providing both, HP maximizes your flexibility and entertainment possibilities of your household.
