Media Server or Home Theatre PC

I am obviously new to this and still asking some uneducated questions

Are these the same thing ...?

what type of media server software do I need to run on a mac mini. i want to connect this with my direct tv if possible. maybe someone is already doing/done this. any info would be much appreciated.

do you rly want to know?
they do serve very similar purposes but there are differences. for software, i've heard plex is good but i don't know if it acts as a server or not. anyways, it all depends on what you are looking to do.
