If your interested in interactive TV check out ACTV (ticker IATV). On SI it's subject 4735. They have a "killer app" for interactive TV. Video streaming to internet, multiple camera angles, replays and stats on demand and most important of all interactive ADVERTISING. Liberty Media, the programming arm of TCI, took a 10% stake in the company, with an option to buy more. The stock price has gone from under $2 to over $5 in the past two months. General Instrument Corp took a $1 million stake in them. Fox Sports Net gave them a 6 year contract good until the year 2003 to broadcast digital interactive TV. The Washington Post owns a significant portion. If you know who John Tudor is, I believe he purchase 1.6 million shares. The company is getting ready to rollout it's digital service using Fox Sports in Texas sometime between March and June. An announcement should be forth coming soon. When AT&T and TCI merge John Malone will get Liberty Media + $5.5 billion. They already created Liberty Interactive. Check it out: actv.com
