The Media Center system is a revolutionary product that launches you into the 21st century of simple to use home technology. Rewind, pause and record TV then Bluetooth it to your mobile, download DVD’s, control the lights ..... the list goes on. BT and Microsoft have just held hands to promote this amazing ‘media center experience’ with an almost there system called BT Vision, but why hasn’t everyone already got a media center if it's so good?

John Morgan, Cardiff Said “I control my all media through one remote and I am a cleaner by trade, so I don’t even know how the thing works to explain it, but it does. It makes me laugh looking back to having video’s, CD’s, computer and about four boxes under my TV; when I manage to convince the wife, a HD Television is next on the list until then the engineer linked it up to my Scart and it’s fine”This amazingly simple to use technology is brilliant but if a fault should occur the level of skill required to repair and support this system is beyond your average technician. In fact the high level of technical expertise required to support these systems is something that your average retail store PC Tech Guy or Geek just can’t deal with.There is hope, just in case you were wondering. A company called Media Receive who specialise in Media Center systems and install the devices like SKY and their boxes will monitor the Media Centers they install to ensure if a problem does start creeping up, they can fix it without you even realising there was a problem. The company are the UK leaders in this technology and have been looking after their early embracing clients accross the UK since they launched in July 2007. Custom AV Installers won’t really recommend Media Centers during consultations. This doesn’t mean it is a bad system, in fact it’s quite the opposite but because it’s computer based technology which is a different industry to the AV market TV and sound system installer cant really help. A company like Media Receive who specialise in the AV and IT industry will ensure you get the advice and support this range of gorgeous looking systems deserve. Click here.The technicians and consultants at Media Receive are mainly ex-forces technicians who have years of experience and qualifications, are totally down to earth guys, and know their job as if their lives depended on it. Something you wish could be said for the spotty geeks that that leave you queuing for support at the store you bought it from or installers that come to your home and staple gun cables down your living room walls. As the take-up of this great lifestyle is just out of reach to your average family budget Media Center manufacturers are selling less which makes the systems remain at an unaffordable price. High street retailers and consumer technology manufacturers are taking massive advantage of this situation and you, the end user;

Shops are slowly bringing out affordable systems that have about one fiftieth of the features of the media center. I’m sure you have all seen a free view box that records TV to internal storage or a DVD player with a memory stick reader for your pictures. By buying these new boxes year after year that have a few more features than the last you’re simply being belt fed another box for under the TV. Media Center is the first system on earth to do (or have the capability) to run everything from one remote. If you are looking for a basic media center that will run your SKY, carry out movie downloads and store picture & music you can have one installed for under £600 by Media Receive. Then when you want to send the media to another room, upgrade it to blu-ray or HD, or even bump up the spec to store another 40,000 albums and DVD’s; Media Receive will send out an engineer to perform the upgrade which saves you buying another box altogether. In fact you probably don’t need even need to buy anything because a Media Receive engineer can come to your home, link your Xbox, TV, PC and everything all together thus delivering the same experience.

That is the lifestyle. One box that will always keep up with the technology market, because you just keep upgrading and growing the system. Google, Microsoft, Sony, SKY, Virgin and another million companies have got so many tricks up their sleeves for the Media center it leaves me thinking, why I haven’t got one yet ?
