Interact-TV Standardizes on Seagate Drives for Telly Home
Entertainment Server Line - Home Entertainment Servers Support Up
to 1.2 Terabytes of Storage by Seagate - WESTMINSTER, Colo., March
21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interact-TV(TM) (OTC:ITVI), a leading
developer of home entertainment servers, has joined with Seagate
Technology (NYSE:STX), the worldwide leader in hard disc drives, to
announce the selection of Seagate drives for Interact-TV's high
performance Telly Home Entertainment Servers(TM). Leveraging
Seagate's Barracuda(R) 7200-rpm hard drive model, now with up to
400GB capacity, Interact-TV has found these hard disc drives to be
ideal for media serving applications. "We are seeing increased
demand from consumers who have expanding collections of digital
media and are looking for an easy, secure solution for storing it,"
stated Ken Fuhrman, CEO of Interact-TV. "Interact-TV has selected
Seagate for several reasons, including the fact that these drives
are very quiet and run cool with low power consumption, making them
ideal for entertainment applications." Telly Home Entertainment
Servers allow consumers to easily store, organize, playback and
enjoy digital media in their home. Telly servers are compact and
quiet, designed for any room in the home and fully scaleable with
up to 1.2 Terabytes of Seagate storage. Telly's comprehensive
entertainment management features include a personal video recorder
and a digital video library which serves everything from stored
DVDs to recorded video, home videos, and Internet downloaded
videos. The included music library and digital photo library can
store entire music and photo collections. Telly digital media
libraries can be accessed directly from a TV connected to the Telly
unit and shared with networked Telly clients, media adapters, and
PCs throughout the home network. "The future is now with Telly and
Seagate consumer storage hard drives," said Rob Pait, Seagate
director of global consumer storage marketing. "For years,
Seagate's vision has been for people to have scalable, easily
manageable storage for the coming wave of digital content. Our
collaboration with Interact-TV helps producers, distributors and
consumers of entertainment realize this vision. Telly digital media
libraries bring unprecedented ease of use to the digital home's
living room -- or any room in the house -- and Seagate consumer
storage hard drives are the perfect enabling technology for this
class of storage appliances." "As consumers have more digital media
in their lives, they are looking for a product to help them store
and organize it. The reliability of the underlying hard disc drive
technology is very important. Seagate's 5 year warranty protects
the consumer's investment in storing their digital media over the
