PCtheater offers a New Sleek Case & Cool New Features

Unique Products Systems, Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Florida ---- April 1, 1999

As the home computing environment moves toward Set-top devices, HTX Technologies recognizes the need to provide a system that is more than the basic "Better than WebTV" strategy. "This Set-top is a complete multimedia system for full multimedia entertainment," said Jay Cullimore, Vice President of Product Development. "We have put a lot of work into developing a set-top computer that can be viewed on normal TV, where applications and WebPages text can normally be a problem. In addition to the DVD player, wireless keyboard/mouse and optional home automation functions, we also added a tuner to make sure the user can take advantage of the new Datacasting technologies"

A new sleek case and cool new features, make PCtheater an even more attractive and functional entertainment system. No need to sit at the desk and try to have the family view the small monitor screen. Enjoy the fun of viewing the Internet, watching a DVD movie or listening to the MPEG jukebox in the family room --- where you live!
