I seem to remember reading something somewhere that indicated that one application for Power TV was as middleware, running on top of an RTOS, and that RTOS was often from WRS. I'll see what I can find.

Edit - Sorry; I was thinking of Open TV

Hi Eric,

It's hard to imagine that PowerTV had this much success.

PowerTV has sold nearly 3 million licenses. Last quarter. its operating system reached the milestone of 2.5 million cumulative deployments in the quarter.

My knowledge of PowerTV is based on people who knew PowerTV. It was doing pretty poorly a year ago, as key engineers were leaving the company. PowerTV is not in the same league as Liberate.

Thank you for sharing your intimate knowledge of PowerTV.
