It looks like Motorola might be looking to expand distribution of its multi-room "Home Media DVR." The system records TV programs on on central PVR, but allows playback throughout the house. This is the setup employed by Verizon in its FiOS multi-room PVR system.
Thursday Motorola invited journalists to check out the box. Motorola execs also said that you could program the PVR using a mobile phone. They mentioned the Motorola RAZR and Q as examples, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could make this function work with non-Motorola smartphones.
So far no plans have been announced to roll the boxes out to anyone besides Verizion FiOS customers, but I can't help but get the feeling that Motorola wouldn't be showing the box off 2 months after it was first deployed unless the company has something up its sleeve.
