OpenTV, HITS Linkup Could Aid Small Ops
OpenTV Corp. is close to signing a deal with Headend in the Sky that would let the company tap into HITS' satellite transponders to deliver virtual interactive channels to cable operators. OpenTV also hopes to use the deal to entice HITS' programming affiliates to author enhanced-TV programming using its software, all in the name of providing a taste of interactivity to smaller cable operators.
