"DirecTV gave details of their Home Media Center (scheduled for 2006), which allows subscribers to access content (video, photos, and music) from anywhere around the house via a main central server unit. The current DTV receivers will not be able to work as servers and stream the data around, but they may work as clients. Live and recorded content can be sent around the home, and recordings can be scheduled for central server storage from any room with a media center client. They were sketch about whether any of the current TiVo DirecTV receivers could co-exist and work with the Home Media Center."Yea, I assume this
won't work with current DirecTV TiVo units and only the new DirecTV branded DVR. Either way, its about time DirecTV started offering these kinds of services. Some more pictures are available at
