5 Reasons Why You Should Add a Digital Media Player to Your Home Theater!

Everyone wants the baddest home theater on the block. 60 inch 3D TV's, 7.1 channel amps, subwoofers powerful enough to set off a seismograph, and loudspeakers made by the highest quality manufacturers, everything has to be in place.

The type of media that you view or listen to through these components has to be cool too. Gone are the days of the VHS and BETA players, DVD's have been replaced by Blu-ray discs, and now even the mighty Blu-ray has competition!

Digital Media Players are becoming more and more common on store shelves, living rooms and home theaters around the world! They have everything you could want in a compact and inexpensive design!! Here are 5 reasons why you should own one!

• No more flipping through stacks of Blu-ray's, DVD's or CD's! Most media players can stream from your computer or have the ability to connect to a portable hard drive where all of your media can be stored and accessed instantly! You can switch from music to a movie in a matter of just a few seconds!
• Browse the Internet on your TV! There's nothing better than being able to go from watching a movie to browsing the Internet without having to turn on your computer! A good number of media players have built in browsers that allow you to search and view the Net just as you would from your personal computer!
• Television on demand! On a number of players, you have the ability to view up to date TV programming at the touch of a button.
• Complete portability. Most digital media players have an Ethernet connection, wireless adapters available for separate purchase, or have wireless capability built in! This allows you to take your media player experience to any room in the house!
• And the last reason is....you'll have the ability to make your friends green with envy! You're going to have the coolest, baddest, sweetest (and another 'est' word that I don't even know!) piece of tech that has become available for your home theater in a long time!!

I have taken two of these players...the Apple TV and the Boxee Box, both being great additions to any home theater, and pitted them against each other in order to see where your money is best spent!
