TV Collection

The entire mediaseva library in a box, playable on any TV.

Mediaseva has compressed the content of every DVD offered on this web site - over 1400 discs - into a small media player that connects to any standard TV, just like a VCR or DVD player. A computer is required to update the Collection via free downloads. Information about updates and other details are at the bottom of this page.

DESCRIPTION & PRICING
In addition to all the videos, each unit described below contains the bhajan collection, photographs, and all the publications (books and magazines) - in PDF format - listed on the mediaseva website, both in English and Spanish.

Each unit comes with a remote control, a factory owners manual and a user's guide/catalog prepared by mediaseva. They come with video and audio cables, ready to go.

The video and audio content itself is free. The price reflects the cost of the components - a small box containing a hard drive - plus packaging. These prices may go up or down without notice.

There are these options available:

1. STANDARD COMPLETE (SC) TV Collection - $210.

This unit (Lacie LaCinema) contains a 1TB hard disk which stores the content of every DVD offered by mediaseva, with both English and Spanish translations. It also includes over 190 new MP3 (audio only) Talks by Master Kirpal Singh Ji, plus bhajans, photos and publications. This unit comes with video and audio cables, ready to hook up.

We expect that the Standard unit will accept 5 years of updates before the hard drive fills up. When it finally fills up, you can connect another hard disk to it, so the unit does not become obsolete.

2. STANDARD ESPAÑOL (SE) TV Collection - $210

Same as above, but it stores ONLY the contents of DVDs that include Spanish translation, in addition to bhajans, photos and publications. This version has more spare capacity than the Standard unit, and it comes with video and audio cables, ready to hook up.

3. HIGH-DEF COMPLETE (HDC) TV Collection - $260

Background: Since April of 2007, mediaseva has recorded many programs in High-Definition (1080P) video. The quality is noticeably better than DVD, and these videos will play on the Lacie LaCinema, which can handle higher quality HD video. This HD program material looks best on a widescreen monitor or High-Def TV capable of playing 720P, 1080i or 1080P video.

This Lacie LaCinema has a 2TB drive that stores all the content of the standard version in addition to the HD videos.

If your Satsang plans to purchase a high quality flat-screen TV, we recommend this unit. It is not likely that all upcoming programs will be recorded in HD, but we are recording as many as possible this way.

4. HIGH-DEF ESPAÑOL (HDE) TV Collection - $260

The same HD unit just described, but it stores ONLY the contents of DVDs that include Spanish translation, in addition to bhajans, photos and publications.

"5. DO IT YOURSELF" OPTION

If you are handy with computers and can configure your own USB hard drive, we will be happy to load the data for you. This option can save money if you just want to play this collection on a computer, or you can hook the drive yourself to an external enclosure, and then to an interface unit like the ones from Western Digital. You will need at least a 1TB drive for Standard Def videos, and a 2TB drive if you would like to view Hi Def videos. Email mediaseva if you want us to load your own drive.

WARRANTY INFORMATION

Our suppliers offer a thirty-day replacement policy. If we find defects when we test the components, we will contact the supplier to remedy the problem quickly. After 30 days, however, when the components are covered by their manufacturer's warranties, mediaseva does not have the capability to make repairs and/or handle warranty claims. Each manufacturer's warranty documentation will be provided with your unit. To make a warranty claim, you need to contact the manufacturer directly and ship either the player or the hard drive to them. If your hard disk fails and the manufacturer replaces it, we will be happy to reload your new drive for only the cost of shipping it back to you.

TV COLLECTION DETAILS

PICTURE QUALITY
The videos are compressed from the original DVDs. This means that video quality is not quite as sharp and clear as watching a DVD on an excellent TV or computer monitor. On a standard TV, at normal viewing distance, most people will not notice a difference between the DVDs and a TV Collection Player. Audio quality, however, is as good as the original DVD.

UPDATING WITH NEW VIDEOS
Updates for ALL units can now be done via free downloads from our website. Details are on the New Downloads section.

OPERATION WITH A TV
Using a simple wireless remote control, you can browse and select from the complete library of video content, sorted by Master, year, location of the program, and date. You can also play all the bhajans and view many still pictures of the Masters.

The TV Collection player works more like a VHS tape player than a DVD player. There are no menus or chapters for each video. When you select a video to play, it starts from the beginning and plays through to the end, and you can fast-forward, rewind, pause and stop, just as a VCR does.

OPERATION WITH A COMPUTER

You can also view the videos on your computer, since the player contains a hard disk with a common USB computer connection. Many people have laptops, so this can be handy if you are away from home or if you don't have a larger TV.

A computer also allows you to search through all the scanned publications included in the unit. These PDF files cannot be viewed on your TV. If you want to view the High Definition Satsangs on your computer, it must be a fast machine with a dual-core processor, otherwise the video will not play smoothly.

COMPATIBILITY

The files are encoded to the US NTSC TV standard, just like the DVDs. Since most European TVs will play NTSC content as well as the European PAL standard, there should be no problem with compatibility, unless the PAL TV is very old.

All units offer composite, component and HDMI signals for your TV. These are world-wide standards, so there should be no connection problems.
