Home Media Servers: What does this mean?

If you are having some difficulty keeping up on the "lastest and the greatest" of today's home technology, you are in the majority (by a long shot). However, if you do have more than just a passing interest you probably have heard of media servers. These devices can very well change your viewing habits forever (and for the better). Here are the answers to the common questions that arise when discussing this topic. Media server by - Xtream Media Servers Simply put, media servers are an electronic component that contains a media server computer hard drive. It is installed at a central location (usually at your media center or a closet or home theater) and contains all of your CD's, DVD's and photos on the hard drive. This server is accessed by remote control from many locations throughout the home. This means that the master bedroom can play a movie while the kitchen plays music and the living room views a slide show. The real benefit to a media server is it's flexibility and the centralization of program material. No more DVD's strewn about the bedroom floor. Also, because of it's central location, there is no longer a need to design extra space in the armoire to house the master bedroom's DVD player. The Xtream Media Server is perfect for the true home theater enthusiast, allowing you to watch, store, and organize hundreds of standard DVDs and Blu-Ray DVDs. The media server also stores hundreds of CDs and has DVR functionality. A seven inch front panel touch display lets you control the media server with ease. When combined with an Xtream Media Extender, you can stream your movies and music collection to multiple rooms.
