Hughes Network Systems plans to design and build an AOL TV/DirecTV set-top receiver. DirecTV and Hughes Network are units of General Motors Corp.'s Hughes Electronics Corp. Network Computer, primarily owned by Oracle Corp. and AOL's Netscape Communications unit, agreed to provide a "complete" software platform for AOL TV. Network Computer has gradually shifted from a maker of low-cost "dumb terminals" to a maker of Internet appliances. Philips agreed to make a set-top box that will connect to AOL via a 56K modem. The box also will be enabled for digital subscriber line, or DSL, the high-speed "broadband" service being developed by local phone companies. National Semiconductor Corp. will make the chips that run the set-top box.
