DirecTV interactive boxes due in Q3................................ dbsdish.com DIRECTV INTRODUCES ITS FIRST NATIONAL INTERACTIVE TV SERVICE Introducing a new generation of advanced digital DIRECTV System receivers will be our first interactive TV service, powered by Wink Communications. The Wink Enhanced Broadcasting service allows consumers to receive high resolution interactive-enhanced broadcasts free of charge on many of the channels offered by DIRECTV, as well as Wink-enabled virtual channels. Wink technology provides pop-up graphics and text information that will complement DIRECTV programming with supplemental data on sports, weather, documentaries and other programs. Viewers of certain channels will also be able to request additional information such as local weather forecasts and game scores by using the remote control of a Wink-enabled DIRECTV System. Look for Wink-enabled DIRECTV System receivers in the third quarter of 1999.
