DirecTV Users Can Access Pictures and Movies From PCs
by
In an announcement that didn’t make much news, DirecTV said that users of its DirecTV HD DVR will be able to access pictures and music from their PCs.
DirecTV also said that it will allow the ability to stream video from PCs to the HD DVR, sometime later this year.
The kicker is that it can only work with Intel’s lame Viiv technology.
Pictures and music is something Tivo Series 2 users already get. The ability to stream video, however, would be extra cool and is something that I’d like Tivo to have. In fact, why not have a browser or e-mail functionality as well?

Vivv offers no functionality that you can’t get anywhere else. Viiv is simply a marketing plan for Intel–just put some stickers on a computer and call it Viiv.
What functionality does Viiv get you? A CPU from Intel?
