Las Vegas -- Satellite TV provider DirecTV on Thursday introduced a Home Media Center that includes support for high-definition video, digital video recording, and transfer of photos and music to televisions in the home. Available by the end of 2005, the system will be powered with software from Ucentric Systems and will consist of a main server unit, with smaller receiver units attached to televisions throughout the home. The Home Media Center will let consumers schedule TV recordings from any room, as well as online, and view and move any content from room to room. El Segundo, Calif.-based DirecTV also separately announced new features for DirecTV customers, including the ability to view up to six live channels all on one screen, and a new interactive channel that will offer weather, financial and other interactive services. Finally, the company launched a new mobile programming package designed for owners of satellite TV-equipped cars. The programming, which includes a movie package from Starz Encore Group, will be available for $4.99 for existing residential DirecTV customers, or $39.99 as a standalone auto package.
