For all those who have their eye on the HP MediaSmart TV, but want to see it in action before pulling the trigger, have a look at the following video. Brian Burch, director of marketing for HP’s connected entertainment division, takes us through the MediaSmart TV’s capabilities and showcases the MediaSmart interface for accessing content from UPnP servers, online sources, media partners, as well as, its new add-on, Windows Media Center Extender.

  • The HP MediaSmart HDTV was shelved just a couple months back in October. The product page is no longer up and the HP MediaSmart Technology section no longer lists it.

    Had this product line been dead-ended?
  • Availability is talked about in the video (jump to: 00:07:40). You can pick one up right now at Costco among a few other retailers like Best Buy and Amazon. However, it does sound like HP is going to be putting a lot of their weight behind MediaSmart Connect (the company's stand-alone digital media adapter) going forward in hopes of mass consumer adoption. Look for a video on the MediaSmart Connect to be up soon.

    I also noticed that at the bottom of the product page it states: "Available only at select Costco stores. Find a store near you"

    Are HP MediaSmart TVs even available anymore? I cannot locate them anywhere, whether at retailers or online. Don't know why you would demo a product that appears to no longer be available for sale?
