(firmenpresse) - EL SEGUNDO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/19/12 -- Pausing, rewinding or recording live TV may become as routine as raiding the mini bar for guests who stay in hotels that offer DIRECTV's Residential Experience service, which recently won first runner-up award for 'Most Innovative Hospitality' at Hotel Technology Next Generation's (HTNG) 8th annual North American conference.
DIRECTV is now offering as part of its Residential Experience service for the lodging industry, designed to offer guests a home-away-from-home video experience.
