"Consumers at home now spend more time on the Internet than they do watching TV. That means people want to sit back and relax and kind of point and click at the Internet content. Our product now is ideal for that."

"The remote that you get with the Media Center is the traditional push button TV remote. When you're watching plain TV it's probably okay.

Gyration's Media Center Suite sells for about 180 dollars. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.
