DIRECTV installs $1 million Avid MediaStream system
DIRECTV might not have all the HD options that viewers want now, but they are sure looking towards the future by spending some fat cash. One million dollars went to install an Avid MediaStream system that should in the end give viewers more high-def services but is currently being used for SD operations. Said system includes a massive amount of 64 decoder channels and more then 25TB of dedicated storage on a RAID array. Hopefully this is part of a bigger picture that includes at least trying to catch up to Dish Network's high-def offerings.
