DirecTV is rolling out a new update on its PVRs at the moment which will give networking capabilities to its PVRs allowing them to be connected to PCs.However, there is a catch. Network functionality will only work with Intel ViiV compliant PCs. Your ViiV PC needs to be running Intel ViiV version 1.5 or higher. This is obviously going to annoy any non-ViiV PC owner who will be feeling very left out.
There may be some hope though; this Digg user has reported that after receiving the update they got networking to work with non-ViiV equipment.
1. And yet networking remains off for TiVo-based boxes.
