Home Wireless: PC Elements

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name is David Bradshaw. We're talking about the distribution of video content wirelessly through the home, specifically we're talking about TV. We're going to talk about some of the core elements that need to be on your PC in order to facilitate this. So, on this particular PC that we have here, it's running Windows Vista. It has something called Media Center built in. I'm going to enable Media Center right now and show you what it looks like. So here you can see the menu for Media Center and without any wireless capability in the home. What you can see I have here, a satellite box here next to my computer, which is next to my TV. The satellite box is connected to my computer via a TV card built into the PC. It's distributing both high definition and single definition TV to my computer. Here in Media Center, I'm allowed to use the TV capability built into my PC to view TV, to view satellite TV in this case. I can also view everything else I have in Media Center. Whether it's recorded TV, other videos, home movies, home photos, or any of the movies that you might have sitting on your hard drive. This is just a way to access all of the content that you have here, that's built into your PC."
