BeoMedia 1 - WinXP Media Center Edition
Bang & Olufsen has now released BeoMedia 1, offering access to digital music files, countless net radio stations, and your digital photo album including small video clips, and brings this to your Bang & Olufsen TV screen. Limited web browsing is also available.
Interactivity between computers and home entertainment systems is becoming increasingly complex, often with a confusing array of menu functions. Bang & Olufsen differs from other manufacturers by selecting the functionality most relevant to the user, and making it easy to use.
The built-in 160GB disk hosts your digital photos, video clips, digital music, for playback through your B&O (and non-B&O presumably) home entertainment system. You can also access pre-selected websites and Internet radio stations with your lazy azz planted firmly in the couch — all via your Beo4 remote. And BeoLink support means you can stream media to other B&O devices around the house via their proprietary protocol.
A good alternative can be found in a Sony VAIO XL1 Media Center with 200 disc DVD changer.
