1)Interactive television represents a continuum from low interactivity to moderate interactivity and high interactivity in which, for example, an audience member affects the program being watched.
2)The reason why it is called that, is due to the next level or dimension of the future. This new invention makes the world around us more better and more easier. It will make things look great.
3) Positives of Interactive TV are:
-
Better Pictures: No more ghosting, snow or other degradation. The picture received will be at the same quality as sent from the studio.
-
Choice: Depending on the provider, today’s subscribers can access over 50 channels. Within a few years viewers may well have access to over 200 channels. It gives viewers a better oppurtunity to watch more movies or shows of different genres.
-
Multiple Languages: The extra bandwidth of digital TV allows programmes and films to be broadcast in a variety of languages. More viewers can then watch movies or shows in there original language.
The Negatives of Interactive TV are:
-
To have interactive TV it costs sometimes a large amount of money. This may be because of the price of the service provider, the amount of channels you have and how good the quality is
-
Sometimes if there is a storm or windy conditions the cable for the interactive tv or the electricity cable could get destroyed.
-
If the set top box get destroyed it could take along time for the service provider to send out a person to help the situation, depending on the location of where you are from them or if they are really busy.
3) Because they believed that they could expand there inventions, also they tried to make the quality better and easier for someone to watch and understand.
