Cannon PC Demos Media Center with 6 Cable Cards

    /24-7PressRelease/ - Houston, TX, June 22, 2008 - Cannon PC, the award winning Media Center specialty company, demonstrated to a select group of people the capability of their Media Centers to manage 6 Digital Card Cards. They have also posted a video on YouTube and on their web site demonstrating this capability. The video shows the actual ATI Digital tuners, the Recorded TV section showing the 6 current recordings, the Performance Monitor showing how little impact the process has on performance and resources and the smooth video playback while all this is taking place.

"We believe we are the first company to demonstrate such capabilities. Since Windows Vista for Media Center natively only supports 2 Cable Cards, we had to figure out how to modify the system in order to have it properly recognize more than 2 cards in the system" said Gregg Cannon of Cannon PC. "We have exceptional people on staff that are very knowledgeable of the Media Center product and spent many hours of research to make this happen. We feel confident that we can add even more digital Cable Cards to our systems based on the process and knowledge we have learned."

For those not familiar with Digital CableCARDs, they allow customers to watch and record their cable TV channels, including premium HDTV channels like HBO-HD and ESPNHD directly on their media center without the need for a set top box. With more Cables Cards in the system it allows the HD experience to be shared more with the extenders in the home. What happens many times in a family environment with a Media Center and several extenders is that there are not enough TV tuners installed the Media Center to share the Live TV experience with more than 2 other rooms. Breakthroughs like this make that a thing of the past.

As the winner of over nine national and international awards, Cannon PC has been designing Microsoft Windows based Media Centers for over four years. Their business model is specifically targeted to Media Centers and Media Center technology. "We pride ourselves on bringing leading edge technology and ground breaking ideas to our customers. A system with 6 Cables Cards is just one of those ideas." said Cannon.

Cannon PC Media Center comes standard with features such as a 52-in-1 media card reader, front IO, USB and fire wire connections, dual NTSC and HDTV tuners with the option to upgrade to Cable Cards, 8 channel HD audio, P35 Express chipset, Quad Core and Dual Core Processor, high end ATI or NVIDIA graphics cards, up to 8 GB or RAM and up to 6 terabytes of internal SATA hard disk storage. Each system uses state of the art motherboards and components that utilize cool and quiet technology to ensure that their systems are whisper quiet and low on heat. All systems are backed by a 1 year factory warranty.

Cannon PC has been designing high end Media Center since its founding in 2004. To learn more about Cannon PC Media Centers, visit them online at http://www.cannonpc.com.
