viiv?

I got an XPS 410 last week with viiv installed. I have been reading about viiv on the Intel site and elsewhere.
I know I'm dense, but I cannot understand exactly what it is.
Can anyone explain it in a few sentences?
It seems to me that it's only purpose is to play media on a TV via a wireless connection. Is that it, or is there more to it than that?

I did the viiv setup and tried to use it, but there didn't seem to be that much to it. And what was there didn't work all that well. It seems to me that between what my Creative and Nero software can do, viiv is just about useless.

Is that right, or do I just need to get into it more?

(Don't bite my head off, please)


Thanks Spot

Don't feel bad, I think it confuses many people because it really doesn't mean anything. From my understanding, it's basically just a set of hardware "standards" that Intel has judged as "capable" of managing digital media efficiently (via DVR software, etc.). For a more complete explanation, check out this article. :)

Hard_Driver,

Thanks for the clear answer and the link.
That's, basically, what I understood from what I had read. I just thought that, since they were making such a big deal out of it, I was missing some major point. I guess not.

I feel better now. I'll just leave it alone.

Thanks,

Spot
