Here's a topic alluded to by tdot over on the Yahoo thread. Question about actv participating in ppv by Fox. Doesn't seem likely to me at this time. I think it would be a difficult marketing proposition on such short notice, but could certainly happen down the road. I don't think marketing it would be the problem - they could give it away and that would be great marketing. Up the price to $25.95 for everyone, and that extra $1 would cover the whole cost. If you have an ACTV enabled box you get the interactivity, if not then you don't. But at the same time, I agree with you that IATV isn't involved with this because we would have heard something about it. I also agree with you that thanks to Tim Duncan, the Spurs should be in the playoffs every year, which means that there should be postseason games for Fox to carry on PPV. I didn't realize that there were any NBA playoff games that weren't on nationwide TV. Shows how much I know. The NBA is as much a quality sport as say the WWF. College Basketball, now that's a sport... -Mike
