• HHT: Hank’s Home Theater

    Posted on February 24th, 2009 admin 4 comments

    I’ve got my HHT spec’d out: It’s going to consist of either a 42 or 46″ 120 Hz 1920 X 1080p LCD TV (depends on physical size – has to fit in our Hooker Cabinet), a Dell Studio Slim, Wireless “N,” and a Logitech diNovo Mini Wireless Bluetooth keyboard. Most of you reading this blog have heard of all of these components except maybe the last. Below is a TigerDirectBlog video on this really cool HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) addition. Now to find the time to get it all together. I’ll keep you posted. Hank

    1. From the video above, the wireless keyboard looks like a great invention. The only concern I have is that the keys look so small. They look like the size of my keys on my cell phone which I use, but it just seems it would take some getting used to if I was using it to control my computer, tv, or other media source. Logitec is a well respected company, so I am sure that that device works very well. Like the gentlemen said in the video, it is like a hand held video game. For all of those who want everything to be controlled in the palm of their hand, this looks like the device for them.

    2. I think the mouse and the swith to navigation keys is awesome. The backlighting is great, I wish computers had that. But the keyboard seems to small to actually be able to type documents on. For playing around searching you tube videos its fine but to actually do work on this seems hard. keyboard looks a little to small to fully type with both hand and a little large to use just thumbs. But I’d sure like to have the system and I watch movies from my computer and play them through my tv with a VGA cable all the time but this would be much nicer.

    3. Yea this looks like a great device to have at home that you can play around with and is good to have control over everything and not have tens of remotes lying around. Also it looks cool and also the fact tht you can control your laptop and other devices by just a flick of the switch.

    4. This is a cool little gadget. I wish I was able to build my home theater system. Everything these days are becoming wireless. The next 5 years of technology are bound to be exciting.
