A media device interfaces a television with the Internet and a computer such that media content discovered with a computer can be retrieved from the Internet by the device for display on the television. An instant message or chat interface is used to receive the digital content from an instant message or chat client. The user specifies accounts that are authorized to send content to the device through the instant message interface. The user can also specify full access accounts that can be used to remotely configure and control the device. The media device automatically retrieves authorized media content from the instant message client and stores it in directories. The media files in the directories can then be accessed through a menu displayed on the television by a user manipulating the menu.
