ReplayTV Wins Popular Science 1998 Best of What's
New Award
ReplayTV Stands Out In Audio and Video Category
NEW YORK - November 11, 1998 - ReplayTV™ - the personal
television set-top box revolutionizing the way people watch
television - will be honored this week at the Popular Science 1998
Best of What's New Awards. Popular Science editors intensively
research thousands of products and technologies for this annual
event and honor only the most important and innovative products.
ReplayTV guarantees viewers will never miss their favorite television
shows because it automatically finds, captures and stores them
digitally for on-demand playback.
With ReplayTV's on-screen programming guide and free network
service, viewers can create personalized "Replay Channels" with
just one button on a remote control. Replay Channels are
customized on-demand television channels featuring a viewer's
favorite shows, themes or actors. Viewers can create, for example,
"ER," "Oprah," "action-adventure films," "cooking," "golf" or "Tom
Cruise" channels. ReplayTV also gives viewers the power to pause,
rewind and "instant replay" live television.
"ReplayTV is widely recognized as a technology that is on the brink
of revolutionizing television. Honors like this prestigious Popular
Science award are gratifying and push us toward even more
extraordinary achievements," said Anthony Wood, CEO of Replay
Networks, Inc.
ReplayTV will be honored in the audio and video category at a
luncheon at the Tavern on the Green Restaurant in New York's
Central Park, Friday, November 13. Replay Networks Inc. will
demonstrate ReplayTV to hundreds of industry guests and news
media. ReplayTV is featured along with all the winners - such as
the 1999 Porsche 911 remake, the Macintosh iMac and the Palm
III, from 3Com - of the Best of What's New Awards in Popular
Science's December issue on newsstands today.
Marc Andreessen, Netscape Communications co-founder and
recently named ReplayTV Networks board member, calls ReplayTV
"just about the coolest thing I've ever seen." The man who made the
Internet accessible to millions of people worldwide thinks ReplayTV
and Replay Network Service will fundamentally change how people
watch and interact with television. "Replay could do for television
what Netscape did for the Internet," Andreessen said.
"Think of ReplayTV as a portal for television," Andreessen said.
"Browsers brought the Internet to millions and portals let people
personalize and manage that online chaos. The Replay Networks
Service will provide a portal to personalize and manage the chaos of
thousands of hours of television programming raining down on
people daily."
