ReplayTV device set for trials news.com <snip> Testing in several markets nationwide will precede a hoped-for launch in early 1999. <snip> The "ReplayTV" set-top represents a new take on gadgets, reflecting the heightened use of digital technologies in the service of the traditionally analog TV. The device employs two large hard disk drives and an MPEG-2 chip for squishing ( a squish chip - cute high tech term that I would use for a slurpee machine )the video signal onto the drive and expanding it again for playback, and dials into a central database that has program guide information. <snip> To that end, each ReplayTV--which is estimated to cost around $500 when it goes on sale next year--includes a free subscription to the Replay Network Service. <snip> ---------------------------
