DirecTV fans have been holding their breath in anticipation of a new tuner to link the service to Windows Media Center. Announced at CES way back in 2006, the HDPC-20 promised to integrate the service’s high-def television content with your Windows PC. Despite three years of efforts towards that integration, the product–named the HDPC-20 in leaked documents from the various beta programs–has been officially canceled. According to a company spokesperson, “DIRECTV has suspended the development of the HDPC-20 tuner project that was designed to integrate DIRECTV service into Windows Media Center after assessing the impact of missing the August 2008 release of Windows Media Center update and considering timing of the next release.
