Make Emeril’s Shrimp Risotto.

Get your TV Guide fix from anywhere.
You’re working in your home office and the digital cable set-top box is downstairs where the kids are watching a movie on the DVD player. But you need to check and see what time the ball game is on. No problem. Now you can view digital channels and program menus from a single set-top box from any television on the network (i.e., no need to lease more set-top boxes). Check out the programming menu from the TV in your office and stop procrastinating.

Share travel advice.
You and a friend are having coffee in the kitchen, and you want to show her shots of your latest vacation. Pick up your tecStream remote, select the media PC, and instantly pull up the digital photos stored on the media PC upstairs.

Stay warm while turning down the heat.
You’re in bed and you remember that you have left the lights on in the living room and the heat up. No problem. If you have a home automation control system on your media PC, call it up on your bedroom television with the tecStream remote control. Turn down the heat and the lights without getting out of bed.
 
Record your show while watching hers.
Your spouse wants to watch her favorite sitcom on cable and you want to watch a DVD. No problem, watch the DVD while recording the sitcom to a DVR or a Digital VHS deck. Then your spouse can watch the sitcom whenever and wherever she wants.

Use tecStream to access the safety camera in the baby’s room upstairs. You can make sure all is well without leaving the couch (or waking up the baby!)

Quick record your friend on TV.
You’re in the kitchen doing dishes and someone calls to say your good friend is on the Antiques Roadshow. Hit quick record on the tecStream remote and capture your friend's surprise when that old hutch turns out to be worthless.
 
No more waking up on the couch at 3 a.m.
You’re watching a Friday night movie on demand from the living room couch and start to feel yourself falling asleep. Get ready for bed and call up the movie on your bedroom TV with the tecStream remote.

Watch the golf channel in the garage.
Turn the garage TV, located above the work bench, into command central for whatever you feel like watching – golf, baseball, a recorded movie – or listening to music. (Another way to get more mileage out of all the MP3 files you bought and stored on the office PC!)

Go ahead, go out!
You can record the latest episode of Lost on the DVR connected to tecStream and still go out for dinner. While your program is safely recording, the sitter can watch another program on cable or a DVD from the same living room location. Better still, when you get home you can watch the program from anywhere.
 
Get your kids to do their homework
(while you watch the ball game).

School paper on dinosaurs? With a push of a button, your middle–
schooler can access the family room cable set-top box receiver and watch a program on PBS from his bedroom. Still not done? Use the Internet connection to finish up the research and download photos.

Keep your promise to Grandma.
You’re sitting in the den and your Mom asks you for the tenth time to see those old VHS vacation tapes. Instead of yanking the old VCR out of the guest room and reconnecting in the den, you can keep your promise with a touch of the tecStream remote.
 
Put the ‘80s on a DVD.
For years you’ve been thinking about putting all of the kids’ soccer games, plays, graduations, and swimming lessons onto DVDs, but the thought of plugging in that old VCR and messing with all the wires in the back of the TV is too daunting. Use tecStream to transfer the tape images to a DVD recorder and put those images right onto a DVD. Easy.
 
Kill the dead spots in your wireless connection.
Say you’re sipping a latte and surfing the Web wirelessly in your favorite living room chair.

Use tecStream to add wireless access points throughout the house, and stop wondering.

Enjoy the same video quality in the garage as in the living room?
Do you feel compelled to watch your favorite shows and games in the living room, where the digital set-top box provides the best picture and sound? With tecStream, that’s not an issue. All the networked TVs provide exceptional picture quality.
