Benny, I assume you are talking about "Digital Set Top Box" when you refer to "Digital Cable". If that is your question then the answer is yes. ACTV Technology has been and will continue to ship to homes across america in each Digital Cable Box manufactured by General Instrument and Scientific Atlanta. Refer to ACTV website: : actv.com "Digital television makes possible uniquely differentiated programming that is responsive in an individual way to each viewer. The Companyâs proprietary digital programming technologies provide the tools needed to create, encode, distribute, decode and view live or pre-recorded television programming that is individualized for an unlimited number of viewers. ACTV produces individualized programming by combining different video, graphic and/or audio signals into one multi-path telecast. Viewers see and/or hear only one of the signals at a given moment; the others remain transparent. Each viewer chooses the programming options by making selections or decisions using a standard remote control. In response to the viewerâs inputs, the individualized programming seamlessly switches from one signal to another, giving each viewer the appropriate response. The viewer cannot detect when such a switch takes place because it occurs with frame accuracy. The results appear seamless and uninterrupted for the viewer the programming is completely individualized.
