There are some cable television providers that do provide internet access if you have the correct cable box and if you subscribe to the internet access. And, you can navigate websites with those cable boxes. > Can you point me the right direction? If the access is via a internet and a website, then I don't think that there is anything different that you need to do. But, that could also depend on what would be supported by the cable box. That is what is currently available. But, there's the new interactive digital TV that is coming in the next few years(my guess 5 to 10 years). One place where you can start is here: http://java.sun.com/products/javatv/ And another: http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/9610_Workshop/paper27/paper27.html And, there are more. Just do a search on Google for IPTV, interactive digital television, digital television application, etc... -- Best regards, Daniel Rail Senior Software Developer ACCRA Group Inc.
