Personalized TV will forever change the consumer entertainment landscape – it will open the door to a consumer with more and greater control over his or her environment – in touch with family members, enjoying popular programming, accessing and saving information and ultimately creating it and sharing it with others. The Personalized PC-TV experience represents a huge step forward, and at this event, we are pleased to take small steps forward in that direction.
