Gaming

Featuring preloaded high-performance 3D gaming including First-Person shooter, Rally Racing, and a classic Arcade system emulator front end, you can treat yourself to fast paced action or go for the nostalgic touch.

Video Conferencing & Internet Phone

Connect to the internet and call your friends and relatives for free. Use a webcam and transmit your image across the world. Compatible with Microsoft NetMeeting.

Web & Desktop

The Home Media and Communication System is a fully functional "desktop" system too - featuring file management, web browser, email client and much more. In fact, everything you would expect from the KDE and GNOME Linux Desktops.

Customization

Most "PVR" boxes from stores do not offer certain functionality and can be hard to update or add new features. With the Home Media and Communication System, there is no subscription charge every month, the features are expandable and upgradable by the user and not forced by the manufacturer, and we at Genesi actively encourage new solutions.

Since the Home Media and Communication System is based on the PegasosPPC platform, it can run any major Power Architecture Linux distribution. Enterprising users and developers may create custom HMC platforms and redistribute them under standard Open Source licenses.
