Logitech on making an HTPC

A home theater personal computer, or HTPC, marries the best of two worlds for your entertainment. A computer is very versatile in what media formats and sources it can play. Your television is a large screen and looks great across the room. Connect a computer to your TV and you have an HTPC, essentially. (Some might argue that traditionally HTPC means a small form factor computer that looks like a set top box near your TV that doesn’t look too out of place.)

Logitech created this infographic to summarize making an HTPC. The steps include connecting your computer to your TV, installing XBMC on your computer to provide a good interface, connecting the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400, a wireless keyboard with a built-in touchpad, and enjoying watching anything you would like.
