New interactive TV technology for over-the-air viewers

BCM2009

Have you ever seen a news story or commercial that sparks your interest? You might make a mental note to search for more information about it later, but your busy life keeps you from remembering everything you would like to learn more about.

Backchannelmedia has developed a technology that brings TV and the Internet together. Our solution allows viewers to click the “OK” button on their remote and send a link directly to your email account and personalized Backchannelmedia Portal web page. We are offering viewers a simple, unobtrusive interactive television experience.

While watching a television program you interact with "clickable moments" which send information about what you are viewing to your own personal Backchannelmedia “portal” or personalized web page). If you were watching your local news and an interesting story came on that you wanted to know more about, what if you could simply use your TV remote to send more information to your e-mail and your own web site?

Sound interesting? Over the air viewers in the Boston, MA, Providence/New Bedford, RI and Hartford/New Haven, CT areas have the opportunity to participate in a free market trial of Clickable TV.
