Data Doctors Radio Program
The In's & Out's of Home Theater PC's
When movies, TV, music and PC's combine, you've got all the makings for a HTPC! Home Theater (HTPC) or media PC is a convergence device that has all the normal features and functions of a computer with specialized hardware and software that let you watch video, listen to music and record TV, all in one device. This HTPC then connects to your TV (or large monitor) and home theater system to give you the ultimate connected media device. Many of today's computers have all that is required to get started, and you just may be surprised at just how 'cool' all these features can be.
Listen in as the Data Doctors discuss the practical use of HTPCs, and learn if you might just need to venture down a new path in media madness.
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on
