How to Create Digital Bliss
The sea of information
and entertainment in our homes can be overwhelming.
With digital cameras, digital music players such as
the iPod and Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) such as
TiVo, homeowners are downloading, storing and consuming
media like never before. But all those files and gadgets
can lead to digital madness.
Digital media is a fun and easy way to get the entertainment
you want right when you want it . . . in theory. Digital
camera owners take loads of pictures, but can’t
show them to anyone without dragging them to the computer.
Downloading music is wonderful and makes it easy to
create custom playlists, but only for the iPod user.
To let others enjoy your tunes you have to tote around
the proper cables, transmitters, or docking stations
to connect it with the car or home stereo. TiVo has
changed the way we watch TV, but what about playing
home movies and storing DVDs?
“I downloaded a lot of
music to my iPod, but was often frustrated because
I couldn’t listen to that same music on my home
entertainment system,” says Josh Madigan, 26,
of Minneapolis, Minn. “And my wife was disappointed
when she wanted to show honeymoon pictures to our
friends and family but they were on the computer and
not easily accessible.”
Until now, most consumers have
found that the only way to bring all their digital
media together was to store it on their already over-crowded
home PC hard drive. But many users found this to be
inconvenient and inefficient. You can’t very
well tote your computer to family gatherings to share
photos, and who wants to rock out to a party mix of
music in their home office? Only a small group of
super techies know how to integrate their music, movies
and digital photos by rigging together a temporary
(and often unreliable) system of connected docking
stations, software and various cables.
“I was looking for a way
to enjoy all my gadgets whenever and wherever I wanted
without juggling six different devices,” says
Madigan. “When I found out there might be a
way to sit in my living room and listen to my music
libraries, watch recorded movies and look at my photos
I was really interested.”
Madigan solved his problem with
the Telly home entertainment server from Interact-TV.
The Telly MC1200 stores entire media libraries on
one easy-to-use device. The ability to record and
organize digital entertainment content allows for
unparalleled flexibility, freedom and enjoyment. The
Telly records and pauses television programming without
the monthly subscription fees of other DVRs. About
the size of a DVD player, the Telly allows users to
store digital photos and show them on their TV or
share them over the Internet. It also stores videos
and music libraries and even lets you burn CDs. The
Telly brings together all your media and players in
one place, without the complicated instructions and
tangles of wires you’re used to with other digital
products.
Entertainment should be blissful,
not a constant battle with formats, players and connecting
wires. And we should be able to share that entertainment
with family and friends, whether it’s photos,
music or watching a video from a friend’s party.
If you don’t have the technical know-how (or
the time) to program your own home entertainment server,
there is now a way to make your digital technology
work for you. The Telly is compatible with virtually
all digital media formats and sets up right out of
the box so you can spend your time enjoying, not programming.
“This is the natural evolution
of digital entertainment. Finally I have one system
for all my music, TV programs, DVDs and photos,”
adds Madigan. “Rather than being stuck in front
of a PC, I can finally use my high-end sound and video
systems in my living room to enjoy all of my entertainment.”
