Where the money is... The Complete Guide to Interactive TV Interactive TV is what's possible when digital television, computing, and Internet technologies converge. It's as varied as point-and-click ordering of the clothes worn by a favorite star...a stock ticker across the bottom of a movie-on-demand...messaging friends while your watch a show...and a stunning array of other applications.
