DIRECTV, Inc. introduced at the International Consumer Electronics Show
an advanced new receiver and networked system, the DIRECTV Home Media
Center, designed to be a whole-house entertainment solution that will
allow DIRECTV customers for the first time to access content --
including digitally-recorded video, digital photos and digital music --
seamlessly from all television sets in a household. The DIRECTV Home
Media Center, which includes the most technologically advanced DIRECTV
receiver developed, has digital video recorder (DVR) functionality and
also supports high definition (HD) and standard definition signals.
The Home Media Center will be comprised of a main unit, with smaller
units located at each additional TV networked throughout the house, to
provide DIRECTV customers with DVR service on all television sets. It
also provides an integrated and common consumer experience on all
television sets. For example, recordings can be scheduled and viewed
from any room to any room.
