Back Hello All, I know this is a bit off topic but I recently had a discussion about interactive TV, which isn't very interactive (e.g. "to play a quiz press the red button now")
I heard this works by having a bunch of 'channels' which the game/quiz flicks between for each response and a very small computer (or some kind of processor) in the cable/digi-box which totals up a high-score for these quizzes and sends it back to the broadcaster. The service is used to promote things, or do market research, or as some very limited educational tool.
Has anyone done interactive TV games? what's the latest? I heard Sony was looking to combine Playstation with a Digital TV receiver - has anyone else heard this?
