DirectTV-Enabled Media Centers Still Coming, Says Microsoft Job Listing [Home Entertainment]

December 21st, 2007 | Category: Gadget News

Chris Lanier, Media Center fan, has just found a couple job postings by Microsoft that point to an long-delayed introduction of DirecTV support in their Media Centers. The job postings point to Pay-Per-View access, HD in H.264, two-way communications to and from the satellite, and integration with both US and European satellite systems. The one note that Chris

adds is that the Xbox 360 Extender will need to get another H.264 update in order to comply with the DTV’s standards before that whole tuner business ships. [Chris Lanier’s Blog]
