Wink answer Wink and ACTV are extremely different applications. Wink allows broadcasters to send data in the video signal which can be reproduced as graphics or text from a graphics chip inside the cable box. This also enables back channel communication from the user, through a modem or the cable plant, back to a cable head end server. ACTV offers a new kind of experience while watching television -- the ability to interact with the program itself -- what we call (for lack of a better term) "individualized television." Instead of accessing additional information, ACTV enables you to get a completely different kind of television programming. Put simply, Wink is data, ACTV is video (although the video could include graphics, text, etc.).
