As I am looking at upgrading my HTPC I had better understand VIIV.

Reading a load of Intel waffle makes me think this is just a load of marketing hype and there is not a lot to actually offer?

Prrrettyyy.. much.

It's another marketing brand from Intel. They've not actually done a lot with it, yet. There's a Bit-Tech article (http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2006/02/13/viiv_don_macdonald/1.html) on the launch of Viiv, but I'm not sure how much help that'll be.

The general jist, I believe, is that Viiv amalgamates a string of 'Media-orientated' technologies from Intel. Though that in itself is confusing. :confused:
