I’m not much of a television watcher; I can’t recall the last time I had a cable bill for anything more than internet. With the recent launch of the People’s Choice Awards site, I hadn’t watched any of the New TV Dramas, nor any of the New TV Comedies.
However, that didn’t stop me from recently investing in a fabulous new toy. Yes, I just decided to “yank the wires” completely NOT for standard television programming.
The HP MediaSmart TV allows you to share files from your PC with your television, so you can access music, movies and pictures via your wireless network. There are also subscription services allowing you to stream radio (live365) or even rent or purchase movies, although I don’t know if I will take advantage of that. I’m primarily excited about the idea of no longer needing to carry my laptop into the room anytime I want to listen to music (I don’t think I even own a cd player anymore…)
I also took receipt of a WII a friend had found for me the other week.. I imagine I’ll enjoy that on my nice new screen…
OR you could buy an old xbox, mod it, and stream stuff to your TV (and download old video games, play youtube vids, stream pictures, music, movies, television shows, all from your hard drive!)
google “xbox softmod”
Yes, that was suggested to me, except I don’t want an XBox
