The first, most useful thing I can think of for interactive tv would be to let the viewer turn off the commentators on sporting events, and simply listen to the sounds of the "game" (or car race or whatever).

Instead of "mixing down" everything in the studio and pumping it out, they could allow the end user to have their own "audio mixer" for the various parts of the broadcast.

FWIW

Wow, RTev - those were some articles! Thanks for the memories, LOL! It certainly is very interesting to read after all these years.

Some things have become more clear. But my overall impression that a lot of MSFT's investments fall into the "hedging of bets" is borne out aplenty.

And so, I maintain it is too with the recent telecom deals.
