The HP MediaSmart Lineup

HP MediaSmart products include receivers, servers, software and services that help you set your media free.

HP MediaSmart Connect

The HP MediaSmart Connect is an advanced digital media receiver that turns any HDTV into a next-generation TV. It allows you to enjoy your favorite photos, music, movies and videos— wired or wirelessly*— from multiple PCs around the home to the “big screen” in the heart of the home.

The entertainment doesn’t stop there. You can also enjoy a range of online services*, or access and share additional content directly from storage devices using the built-in HP Pocket Media Drive bay and two USB ports. 

HP MediaSmart Server

With the HP MediaSmart server, the whole family can store, protect and share their digital files in one convenient place. Now, grandma and grandpa can see the video of their little ballerina’s recital or you can share a “wish you were here”

Microsoft announced in late December that under certain situations a data corruption issue may exist with the Microsoft Windows Home Server Operating System.  Microsoft states that most users are unlikely to be affected by this issue as only a small number of cases have been confirmed.  On March 10 Microsoft announced their plan to fix this potential problem.  They have been able to recreate the problem, have a fix and are now thoroughly testing the fix.  HP recommends that all users of home servers with Windows Home Server Operating System follow Microsoft’s recommendations to ensure their data remains safe.  More information can be found on Microsoft’s web site:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946676
