New DISH Home Delivers Six Channel Mosaic of Popular Networks With Interactive
Services
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OpenTV Corp.
(Nasdaq: OPTV), one of the world's leading providers of technologies and
services enabling the delivery of digital and interactive television,
announced today that it developed and integrated an enhanced digital
interactive application for EchoStar Communications Corporation's
(Nasdaq: DISH) DISH Network(TM). Available to all of DISH Network's
subscribers at channel 100, the new DISH Home channel will allow viewers to
simultaneously watch six video windows of popular networks including CNN, The
Weather Channel and E! displayed on an attractive full-motion video
background.
The OpenTV-developed service allows viewers to navigate through each of
the six video windows using the remote control's directional arrows. As they
navigate, the audio changes to correspond with the currently highlighted video
window. Full-screen video and audio automatically appears when a network
window is selected. Viewers can access the wide selection of interactive
services from the DISH Home channel, including customer service, news, and
shopping and games. In addition, a text ticker allows EchoStar to provide
up-to-the-minute news and events.
The new DISH Home channel is configurable, enabling EchoStar to refresh
the six video services, interactive offerings, banner ads, and background and
text ticker with new content at any given time. For example, DISH could swap
out the six video windows with six different video feeds of a single event and
update the full-motion video background to reflect the theme of the event.
