Cirago Multimedia Center CMC1000 Series (1TB, $250)

Just because someone doesn’t pay for TV, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to record it. Over 30 million people received coupons from the government to purchase a digital converter as TV went from analog to digital. With millions of people out there still getting their TV for free, there hasn’t been a compelling option to record that doesn’t involve some monthly bill, until now. The Cirago Multimedia Center from Cirago International Ltd., headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, now available in 500GB and 1TB models, fills the recording void that has been left by the VCR. A simple device that provides the freedom to record any program desired, without having to keep paying for it.

Anyone can record their favorite shows in HQ to SLP at up to 720 x 480p, skip the commercials, and save their favorite show or game to enjoy over and over again with just the touch of a button. Not going to be home for the show? Just plug the program into the schedule and don’t worry about being tied down to some networks time table. Like other top of the line units, the Cirago Multimedia Center can rewind live TV and relive that unbelievable highlight, and with up to 1400 hours of recordable time on the Cirago Multimedia Center’s 1TB model, there is no need to constantly worry about deleting those old programs that are too good to let go.

The Cirago Multimedia Center will plug directly into the computer or home network as well, anyone can drag their favorite music and movies to the device to play back on their TV. The device can also store pictures, files, and data on the Cirago Multimedia Center with just a couple clicks, which can help save space on their computer, and save money on an external hard drive. Any USB device, such as an external hard drive, doubles up as additional memory when connected to the USB port on the Cirago Multimedia Center. A memory card reader is also built in for easy viewing of pictures and home videos from digital cameras. Files can also be copied between the Cirago Multimedia Center and any external storage device or network without the need of a computer. A wireless USB adapter is also conveniently included for wireless connection.

Patrick Lo, President of Cirago International said: "The Cirago Multimedia Center is a compact device that can record TV, store photos, music and movie files, and stream them to your TV. With no subscription fees and a free wireless adapter, the Cirago Multimedia Center delivers a comprehensive multimedia experience at an affordable price."

Getting a DVR through Tivo, cable, or dish company will cost money every month, and none of them are going to play music or browse through the vault of photos people have digitally accumulated over the years like the Cirago Multimedia Center can. The Cirago Multimedia Center is simple, affordable, and easy to use. Feel free to skip the commercials, and the bills.

The Cirago Multimedia Center is available now and can be found in major retail and online stores. The 500GB model retails for $189.99 and the 1TB model retails for $249.99.
