ShowShifter

ShowShifter is a software program that helps people transform their PCs into an ultimate multimedia media center.

The app has a modern-looking interface that is also easy to use and therefore, you are not required to have previous experience in similar all-in-one media centers in order to properly work with it.

In addition to that, you should know that the user experience level can be changed from “Normal” to “Advanced,” “Expert” or “Problem Solving”. This option helps you increase or decrease the level of configuration options shown, so as to improve usability.

The main window displays all the actions that are available, with the help of interactive images. For example, clicking on the jukebox enables you to add all the music you have on the hard drive, create playlists, search for a specific track and listen to MP3s.

Aside from watching TV, ShowShifter also lets you browse the TV guide in a grid or single channel view, create a to-do list, watch movies from a DVD, listen to radio, play music (from your HDD or a CD) and view photos.

In order for the users to be able to browse the options present in the program even easier, the developers have integrated a large number of keyboard shortcuts such as “Alt+P” for play, “Alt+R” for recording and “Alt+Shit+N” for previous track.

This tool has a built-in crash reporting system, which means that when a problem is detected, be it with your hardware or software, an HTML page with links to documented solutions will automatically be generated.

In conclusion, ShowShifter is a very useful multimedia center with a very easy-to-use interface. The keyboard shortcuts and built-in support system make the program highly efficient and reliable when watching TV, movies or listening to music or certain radio channels.
