According to this Intel press release, Intel and DirecTV are working on the first Viiv Technology-Verified Digital Media Adapter (DMA) in a set-top box.  Using the integrated DMA, the DirecTV digital set-top box will connect to Viiv-enabled computers providing access to digital media, such as photos and music, stored on the Intel-based  computers.

The recently release DirecTV Plus HD DVR is currently in the final testing and verification stages needed for Intel Viiv compliancy.  

"With a simple software download, DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR customers nationwide can enjoy on their TV favorite photos and music albums that have been tucked away on their PCs," said Kevin Corbett, vice president of Intel's Digital Home Group and general manager of the company's Content Services Group. "Having the nation's leading satellite television service provider with a 15 million and growing customer base introduce the world's first Intel Viiv technology-verified set-top box is a significant milestone, accelerating the number of connected digital homes."

The software download is expected to be available in December.
