Have you noticed that television programmes of late have been getting worse and worse? Sure we get the occasional "Lost" or "Coupling" but 95% of general free to air and subscription television programmes are absolute garbage. Take "Two and a Half Men", for instance. What the hell is that show about? The title alone has given my eleven year old sister nightmares on a number of occasions. Or what about "Big Brother"? Here's a great idea! Let's take a house in the middle of paradise, throw in sixteen nut-bags and an Orwellian reference that is sure to go over the heads of every competitor - and see what happens! Honestly, it's enough to make a sane man weep.
Well, have we got the solution for you - Why should you plug a computer into your television? Because it means your favourite TV shows are on when YOU want them to be. You can forget about missing "Family Guy" because you were meeting the in-laws - just download the episode*, copy it to your Mediagate and press play. It couldn't be easier. Plus, if you bought one of our TV tuners, it's a cinch to turn your PC and Media Player into a poor man's TiVo.
Better yet, rip your favourite DVD movies onto your PC*, copy them to your Mediagate via your home network and they're ready to be watched too! No more tip-toeing around to avoid scratching disks! It even supports Dolby Digital, to give you the real cinema experience!
You'd better arrange your living room a bit better, too, because beyond the obvious advantages with film and television, the Mediagate is also an exceptional music player. Copy across all your tracks* in MP3 or WMA form, and you've got a serious dance party on your hands.
The MediaGate MG-350 HD can be connected to multiple devices, check out the following diagram in prismatic 60s colour:
The MediaGate is an exceptional example of the future of television. It has a 10/100 LAN port, making it even easier to connect to your PC, a USB2.0 connection for supported peripherals, it's light and compact and can even output through coaxial digital, component video AND S-Video connections. The Wireless model allows you to connect via your PC or Networks Wireless point. (This allows you to communicate of the device without the need for wires - very handy for the cable concious.)
Since the Mediagate needs a hard drive to be of any actual value, and as an added bonus today (where bonus means "pay us more and we'll do something a bit different") we're also offering a 250Gb hard drive, formatted, installed and tested inside your new wired Mediagate for just $297.80 plus shipping, or inside your new wireless Mediagate for just $398.80 plus shipping. Either that or you can DIY with your own hard drive, dropping the price to just $189.80 for the wired and $289.80 for the wireless (plus shipping).
What a bargain for television the way YOU want it, 24/7.
Grab yours today – they won't be here tomorrow!
