Interactive Services
The Internet and cable or digital television provide an interactive service - they allow two-way communications.

Examples are...

  • interactive shopping
  • banking
  • email
  • booking systems (theatre, cinema, holidays etc)
  • voting
  • games
  • betting and gambling
  • dating

 

On digital television a button on the remote control can be pressed to open up the interactive services.

It is also possible to select your TV viewing - from selecting news reports to watch to selecting the time that you want to watch a particular program.
