About the Book

Learn to use your power well. As much as this book is about how to buy and use a Media Center PC, down deep it is about how owning one changes the way you watch TV and manage your entertainment content. Like all good revolutions, this one empowers you. The revolution has begun - in your living room! Now "PC Magazine" gives you control of this new era in entertainment. One device. One remote. If that isn't a revolutionary approach to entertainment, what is?Now a former "PC Magazine" contributing editor and digital lifestyle pioneer shows you how to activate all your MCE's power. You'll never again worry about missing the end of a TV show, finding that special photo, or having the perfect soundtrack ready to go. You can even say good-bye to your stereo, DVD player, and TiVo - your MCE PC replaces them all! You'll be empowered to: select and set up a Media Center Edition PC; decide whether to use it for general computing; record and pause live TV; edit, store, and share digital photos and videos; control all your media with one remote; connect and use both a TV and standard monitor - at once; build your home network around your MCE; transfer content to DVD; and, put Media Center on any TV in your home with a Media Center Extender.
