Intel Branding Media Center PCs as "Viiv"

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the tune-in dept.

ChessKnught writes "Dan Ackerman posted a blog on Blog.CNET.com regarding Intel Developer Forum chatter about Intel's branding of it's Media Center PC. Don McDonald, one of Intel's Digital Home Group Sr. VP's, is talking about 'Viiv', apparently targetting entertainment PC users. It looks like it'll be combining CPU, Intel hardware (TV tuner, remote, and easy setup wireless home networking, etc.) and Windows Media Center Edition."

    All cable companies offering digital cable MUST offer cable cards as of July 1st, 2004. This was by FCC mandate. They don't advertise it, but if your cable company offers digital cable and won't give you a cable card if you ask, report them to the FCC.
