DSN Retailing Today, Jan 27, 2003
The idea of coupling computers with home entertainment centers has been around for years but several companies are finally ready to make "home networking" a reality.
TiVo Inc. will introduce its Home Media Option this spring for $99. The service will allow subscribers to connect computers to TiVo Series 2 digital video recorders and display files such as digital photos on television sets.
SonicBlue Inc. will launch a similar technology in April when its Go-Video D2730 hits stores at a suggested price of $249. The unit will combine a DVD player with a box that connects to a computer and allows users to download images and music files to TVs.
