HDTV Media Extenders

Although there are plenty of media extenders for Windows Vista and XP. Like NetGear, Buffalo LinkTheater, and D-Link–see the reviews from PC World here. These devices sit next to your TV, connect to your PC (via Ethernet cable or better yet, Wi-Fi) and allow you to view movies and listen to music through your home network.

Now, PVR Wire is reporting that HP is releasing an HDTV with a built-in media extender. That means you don’t need an external device to connect to your TV. This is a great idea. After all, who wants YASTB (yet another set-top box) near the TV?

As PVR Wire reports, the price of the TV may be a bit more, but it makes up for the media extender that you’d probably purchase.
