Google Media Server - Easily Stream PC to your TV
Looking for an easy to use software to stream your PC to your TV? As long as you have a UPnP-enabled device, you might want to try out Google Media Server. According to Google:
Google Media Server is a Windows application that aims to bridge the gap between Google and your TV. It uses Google Desktop technology such as Desktop gadgets for the administration tool and Google Desktop Search to locate media files. All you need is a PC running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device (e.g. a PlayStation 3). At the touch of a button, you can then:
- Access videos, music, and photos stored on your PC
- View Picasa Web Albums
- Play your favorite YouTube videos
We'll give Google Media Server a shot and let you know what we think. If you're currently using it, drop us a comment and let us know what you think.

Google Media Server is best utilized as a gateway application that will introduce users to wireless streaming. Devices capable of so much more, like those using Quartics PC2TV technology (including D-Link MediaLounge 1200 and AddLogix InternetVue 2020), would be the next step up. These devices also have the flexibility of being professional tools because of their ability to project all PC content, including Word documents and PowerPoint slides.
