I think you are making the big assumption that the mass market has a great desire to interact with the TV. People watch TV to be entertained. If they want to interact, they talk to their friends and family. Only a few visit places like Silicon Investor. I already have most of the future features you describe ( A cable TV with TV Guide, broadband Internet access, etc), and it's much easier to get programming off the TV when I'm on the entertainment mode. Personally, I'm not going to put my investment money into anything based on the premise that after a hard day's work Joe 6 pack has the strong desire to spend his nights interacting with the TV (except in the limited area of program selection). More likely he will continue to think of it as a form of passive relaxation and entertainment. The computer or an Internet appliance will stay the choice for electronic interaction. An exception might be TV interactive gambling, but this isn't legal.
