TVGIA CC, ACTV, SRCM by: cybo_the_kid 20790 of 20791 When asked about why they don't start a test bed for individualized TV becuase its a perfect fit and a "can't miss" for the Horse Racing Channel, Pete Boylan stated that they were in negotiations with ACTV to use a myriad of their products and that they liked ACTV very much. Said that they only deal with companies that they have relationships with [TVGIA being 44% owned by Liberty and 44% by News corp. Liberty has claim to 25% of ACTV] . Look for HyperTV's 2 box solution on TVG very soon. Boylan stated in the CC that their best customers will have a priority status in receiving advance set top boxes. "This will ultimately lead to wagering with the remote control." This, of course, being HyperTV's one box solution which is viable with the advanced STB the DCT-5000. This version of HyperTV is without peer and has no competetive threats. The only interest that they had in SRCM was to use them for the deployment of local content. This use of SRCM seemed very doubtful. Furthermore, TVGIA didn't particularly care about this use that much anyway since it wasn't that important in the overall scheme of things. Boylan also said he wanted to dispell any rumors on SRCM by stating that other than deployment of local content which seemed doubtful, they had no other use for SRCM. Why some of the larger firms have initiated coverage on SRCM while being blind about ACTV speaks volumes on how valuable their opinions really are. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: 07/29/1999 10:18 am EDT as a reply to: Msg 20783 by arthurs1 View Replies to this Message Related Links Quote & News Profile Research Insider
