FREE SUPPORT

- Full Remote Configuration of your System - $99*
*This service removes the worry and stress of installing MediaShout and getting the configuration for your system setup correctly. Our team will remote into your system, install the program with the latest version, install the free media (pending internet connectivity speed), install the codecs for audio/video playback, install any additional updates and software needed, and configure MediaShout with your unique setup. On average, this will take 2-3 hours, but you are not required to remain at the computer. High speed internet required (DSL or higher). This is for one computer only. Additional installs can be purchased separately.
