Hard Drive Multimedia Player HDD Media Players… They’ll Change Your Life!


Today’s home entertainment technology is more advanced and more affordable than ever, which is a major reason for the growth and popularity of HDD media players. Once you get a taste of the tremendous benefits and advantages of having one, you’ll understand what we mean when we say it will literally change your life!

What is an HDD media player?

One of the best pieces of technology to come along in decades is the HDD media player, and thanks to the many different types, sizes, and features available you can find the perfect fit for your own situation and needs. But what, exactly, is an HDD media player?

The simplest answer is that an HDD media player is a very high capacity hard drive capable of storing all of your multimedia files in one secure, convenient location. It makes it easy to access all of your media files, no matter the type or size, from anywhere in your home and on any device connected to that network. Further, HDD Media Players allow you to play back this multimedia directly through your home entertainment system and/or TV.

What are the benefits of an HDD media player?

The benefits of choosing an HDD media player are much greater and broader than you might think. Some of most common benefits you’ll realise include:

* No more DVDs, CDs, etc. – In the past, if you wish to view your multimedia through the TV, you’ve had to maintain hard copies of all of your movies, music, pictures, and the like, until now! With an HDD media player that’s not necessary. All of these files are stored digitally on the single, small box that is the HDD media player. Everything is safe and secure; no more worries about scratches, lost discs, or the like.
* Organisation – An HDD media player allows you to organise all of your multimedia files in whatever way you want. You can compile lists based on artist, genre, personal preferences, alphabetically, release date, type of media file, or just about any other method you can come up with.
* Access – Because many forms of HDD media player can be connected to your entire home network it’s quick and simple to access files from anyplace in your home and watch them through your home entertainment system. This means you can watch a movie that’s stored on your computer through your TV in your living room.
* Control, playback and record – Playing back media files is incredibly easy because everything can be controlled via just one remote. Even better, the quality of playback and recording is unsurpassed; you can watch movies in high definition (up to 1080p), record live from HD digital television, and even pause, rewind, and fast forward live TV if you so choose.

State of the art multimedia storage and playback

HDD media players are indeed state of the art multimedia storage and playback devices. With one of these devices installed on your home network you’re going to find it’s easier and more convenient to access your media files in ways you haven’t considered before. So instead of row upon row of DVDs and CDs sitting unused on some shelf, you’ll be enjoying them each and every day.

What better way to make the most of your home entertainment network while impressing your friends and family along the way?

Inoi Media Player Holt International Announces United Spring 2010 Tour With Sanctus Real, David Nasser, Mikeschair, And Jonny Diaz


Holt International Children's Services, the 54-year old Christian ministry reaching vulnerable and orphaned children around the world and the chief sponsor of Winter Jam, Christian music's most successful annual tour; announced today their sponsorship of the much-anticipated UNITED Spring 2010 Tour featuring GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning Sanctus Real with visionary speaker David Nasser and, not one but, two of this year's Dove-nominated artists—MIKESCHAIR (for Song and Album of the Year) and Jonny Diaz (for New Artist of the Year).

Starting April 23 in Denver, CO the UNITED Spring 2010 Tour will be traveling to cities across America playing in markets as diverse as Louisville, Tulsa, San Antonio, and Lubbock. Tickets in select markets went on sale this week, and fans are already responding positively. Specially priced VIP tickets available in most markets—admitting holders to a separate worship time with the tour's artists—are being purchased quickly.

With Sanctus Real's March 9 release of their fifth studio album, Pieces of a Real Heart, on Sparrow Records; radio programmers around the country have already made the first single from the project, "Forgiven," a smash radio hit and the song continues to climb the charts. Interestingly, listeners are responding overwhelmingly to the song's message of hope. In fact, when the band began streaming "Forgiven" from their website (www.sanctusreal.com) and asking listeners to share their own stories of forgiveness, literally hundreds of stories flowed in from all over the world. Sanctus Real's lead vocalist Matt Hammitt explained, "I underestimated the power of forgiveness. I was expecting people to write ‘God is good, I am forgiven,' which is a true statement of faith; but instead people began confessing their deepest, darkest secrets on the site, sending letters to others they needed forgiveness from or whom they needed to forgive. It's amazing to see how God is using my own insignificant insecurities, failures, and fears to spark a song that is ministering to so many people needing forgiveness."

David Nasser was only 9 years old when he escaped the bitter Iranian revolution with his family to begin a new life in the U.S. In the years that followed, David felt isolated and sought acceptance from his peers; turning to everything imaginable to fit in. Nothing worked. He still felt like an outsider. Finally, at the age of 18, Nasser found true acceptance, salvation, and purpose in a deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Today, as one of the nation's leading speakers, David Nasser is blessed with the talent to reach America's high tech, attention-lacking Generation Next culture. Involved in revivals, citywide rallies, camps, and school assemblies; he speaks to over 700,000 people each year. David is excited to be joining Sanctus Real in sharing God's message of forgiveness during the UNITED Spring 2010 Tour.

MIKESCHAIR began in a freshman dorm room at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. where several guys began playing and writing songs together. Mike Grayson, the only one of the group of writers not living on the same floor, was given a special chair to signify his place in the group. He later named it "Mike's chair." Thus the group, MIKESCHAIR, was born. Now as honorary "chair-man," Grayson is lead singer, guitarist, and shares the name with fellow "chair-men;" Sam Tinnesz, lead guitar; Jesse Hale, violin and keyboards and Jon Haire, bass guitar. MIKESCHAIR received critical acclaim with their first recording on Curb Records and have been nominated for four Dove awards.

Being a musician wasn't Jonny Diaz' first choice professionally, especially growing up in the Diaz family. Jonny, like three of his brothers, was awarded a college baseball scholarship. After high school he headed off to Florida State University to play baseball, but soon felt led to put down his bat and glove and focus on his music. After several successful independent recordings, Jonny signed with INO Records and released More Beautiful You, his first major label project in 2009. Since then the album's powerful first single, "More Beautiful You," has taken off, and quickly become one of the most played and requested songs on Christian radio. With this success Jonny has had the opportunity to open in concert for some of Christian music's biggest artists such as MercyMe and Steven Curtis Chapman.
