Show time

Prepare a favorite family dinner and gather the clan around the TV. Turn down the lights and turn off the cell phones. With an HP MediaSmart TV you can browse through your library of home movies stored on your PC or MediaSmart Server. Allow each member of the family to pick a movie during the evening. For new movies, have the “director” or one of the “stars” give a brief introduction. Get creative and have fun—it’s your theater and you make the rules. So whether it’s once a week or once a month, Home Movie Night is an entertaining way to bring the family closer together.
