Motorola and Time Warner Team Up to Deliver Multiroom DVR
Motorola has teamed up with Time Warner Cable Inc, in order to develop a multi-room digital video recorder (DVR). Motorola is going to be using the MoCA technology to network all the DVRs in the house. This will bring features such as changing rooms while watching television by use of the “Follow Me” feature, being able to stream HD content to your DVR from your computer or other media devices, and much more that would not be possible with traditional Wi-Fi networks. The best part about using MoCA in the DVR is that consumers will not have to worry about slow downs or cutouts that are inherent with wireless networks.
Using MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Alliance) technology, the solution creates a multimedia network using existing coaxial cable in consumer homes. The network is capable of transporting high-definition video, high-quality digital voice, and high-speed data to televisions, DVRs, game consoles, wireless access points, and home computers. – Motorola Media Center
