TV vs PC: Can't We All Just Get Along?

Yesterday was slow day for my Quest, as other responsibilities kept me from making much progress on the media network.

In the mean time, I read this interesting article in PC Magazine by the irascible John C. Dvorak.

In the article, Dvorak pits PCs against televisions. Like me, he also has a projector with a 100 inch screen, which is only now the cost of an actual television of half it's width. He is correct that it is pointless to watch most TV programs from a projector.

Our movie room is in our basement, and we only go there to watch movies or special TV broadcasts.

What my project, and this blog, is about is the merging of your PC and your TV or projector. I envision a time in the future, say a few weeks from now, where I can access any media content from any TV or projector in my house.

The result will be harmony between PCs and TVs, with each working together to do what it does best. Ultimately, I will no longer consider my LCD screen or my projector to be a television, it will just become a household Media Center.
