Suppose you're on the road, and you realize that you forgot to set the DVR to record your favorite show. What do you do? Does the notion of setting that recording from your mobile phone sound farfetched? Well, the future is now, thanks to Motorola's Follow Me TV technology.

Starting with a Motorola set-top device, consumers can now create a multimedia network that sends content not only to other rooms in the home but to mobile devices such as the next-generation RAZR phone and other phones that have storage-card capacity. You can also use your Motorola mobile devices to remotely program a Motorola DVR.

"We're delivering a truly personalized TV experience," said John Burke, corporate vice president and general manager of digital video solutions at Motorola. "Consumers get the chance to enjoy seamless, mobile entertainment, and service providers get the opportunity to extend their reach beyond the home."

The full Follow Me TV experience is enabled by Motorola DVR set-tops and the company's OCAP software solution. This software solution includes powerful tools designed to offer home media networking using the Multimedia over Cable Alliance (MoCA) standard.
