You probably already use your TV as a great source of entertainment. You probably have the computer for a lot of fun. With the combination of a computer and TV set up correctly, you can unleash so much more potential for entertainment and make everything much more easily accessible.
Entertainment system includes
Hdmi
In the center of the entertainment system, the TV will be. Of course I would recommend an HDTV for those who cancan afford. Moreover, while the size is not the only important factor in the quality of an HDTV, I have to say, bigger is better. For this configuration it is assumed that you have claimed an HDTV with HDMI input.
As I have said, is that the size and all the TV, but we will use a computer for much more for you. This brings us to the computer going to want to be. I would recommend that a PC based on Windows 7, which has Media Center. If you do not know what is Media Center, we getit. The computer should also have a good graphics card, make sure your computer is the high quality of HD content playing without stuttering or slow. We want to make sure that this graphics card has an integrated HDMI port with audio support. That makes it as easy as possible to connect the computer to the HDTV. In addition, it is usually not cost much to add a Blu-ray compatible with a computer, and is definitely worth it. If you do not have Blu-Ray uses on HDTV, not areal movie watching experience.
In addition to TV and computer that you want to be sure to get a Media Center compatible remote control for your computer. This allows you to control everything will easily install on your computer from the couch.
The software and configuration
As I said earlier you want Media Center to run on your computer. This will be the foundation of all our activities on the PC. The reason is that it is developing an interface to be controlled by the needMedia Center remote control, so you do not have a mouse and keyboard on his lap while all this.
Also, you want the plugin Netflix Media Center. This will give you access to the entire catalog Netflix streaming to Media Center. In this way you browse, search and watch everything that Netflix has. Netflix requires a subscription to get access to streaming content, but it's worth to have access to allKinds of movies and TV shows at once.
Another that you want to install the application then Hulu desktop. This application gives you the same free content stream that can be found on its website, but works well with Media Center remote control. Hulu will not install inside the Media Center, but we can still make it to work. You want a program like Media Center study. Media Center Studio is a free program that you can download to make you leave,Changes to the Media Center menu. With this you can create a launcher for Hulu. Then you can start to Hulu Desktop, Media Center and when you exit the program takes you back to Hulu.
Media Center does not have built-in support for Blu-ray. If your computer is equipped with a Blu-ray is also a plugin for Media Center support to come for the add. Otherwise, you need to make a purchase. There are many options available online. Just what you buy,make sure that Windows 7 includes a Media Center plug-compatible This will ensure that you control your Blu-ray discs with the same remote control and without the Media Center software to leave.
The last real step for configuring the computer to copy music, video and photo collections on your computer. Provided that the music and video are out of non-DRM compatible with WMC, you can listen and watch all these files through the Media CenterSoftware.
Connect your PC without HDMI
Some of you may already have a PC that you want to use, or have just taken a murderess only to find a bargain, does not have HDMI. Fear not, you can still connect with the TV's HDMI port, with a job. Your possibilities are endless. First, it is possible a new graphics card to your computer, HDMI is being installed. This could be the best option for older computers that must have a graphics card to date anyway.
Another option is to use a DVI-HDMICables from each computer with a DVI video connector is everything. This makes the video to your TV without problems. Be aware however, that no DVI port, audio output so you'll have to run separate audio cables. We hope that the TV is equipped with a slot next to the TV's HDMI ports, so permitted.
If your TV has a VGA input, you can only VGA to VGA cable from the VGA port of your computer to your TV. This works great in most cases. Some TVs support 1080p withoutthe VGA port, but so be careful, dass Although VGA for audio so you need a separate audio cable in this situation also performed.
Lets say you have the computer's VGA, but you have to go on TV to HDMI. You can use a VGA to HDMI converter, converting to analog format to digital, which allows you to use 1080p on the HDMI input. These converters are typically support the conversion of sound, helping to put it on the HDMI line, which is intheir institution.
Only what you do not buy a VGA-HDMI cable. These things were floating all over the Internet, but they are a scam. VGA is an analog signal and HDMI is digital and you can not just use a cable to convert from one to another. If you buy a cable, so that you really are wasting your money.
Completion
Once you have your TV, PC and all connected remote are all set to enjoy all these forms of entertainment in one device. Aredisplay about Hulu, Netflix, Blu-Ray, DVDs, play MP3s and video files stored images, and more all with one machine, and all from the comfort of your couch. I have personally been running a construction, as described here for about 3 years, and it is always better to come as new sources of media. This is the ultimate home-entertainment device.
