Interact-TV Expands Into Educational Markets
- eTelly Accepted by Two School Districts as Multimedia Distribution Platform
in Pilot Program - 


WESTMINSTER, Colo., April 28  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interact-TV(TM)
(OTC:ITVI), a leading developer of Linux-based home entertainment servers, is
pleased to announce that eTelly, a customized version of its high performance
Telly Home Entertainment Server(TM), has successfully completed initial testing
and has been accepted by two school districts for piloting as a networked
multimedia distribution platform.

Interact-TV partnered with Info-Data Services Inc., a leading provider of
system integration consulting services, in the eTelly implementation which
addresses the needs of the teacher in the classroom.  Using eTelly's central
video library, a teacher is able to select a video by subject matter, title or
grade level using a series of simple-to-use menus.  eTelly allows the teacher
to easily preview videos on their desktop computer to make sure the content
correctly represents their curriculum and then select the complete video or
bookmarked segments to view in class with the students.  Students can go to the
school library to view a video they missed when they were absent or to review
before a test.  Music and photographs are also available from the eTelly
central library.

"We are gratified with the acceptance of our customized offering to this
vertical market which was based upon input from teachers and school
administrators and look forward to continuing to enhance our offering as the
needs of the educational market evolve," stated Don Dashefsky, President of
Info-Data Services.

eTelly eliminates the traditional distribution problems found in school
districts across the country where it is often difficult to get access to
media; either videos are stored at remote locations or they are in use at other
facilities.  eTelly provides a robust and cost effective solution for
distributing digital multimedia within a school.  With eTelly, digital content
resides on a single eTelly server and any teacher or student can access that
content using a PC that resides on the school's network.  The digital content
is always available.

"eTelly is able to leverage the cost effective Telly Home Entertainment Server
product line and its supporting Linux-based EOS software platform to deliver a
solution targeting this vertical market," stated Ken Fuhrman, CEO of
Interact-TV.  "The scalability of the eTelly that currently allows for up to
1.2 Terabytes of digital media storage and its ability to index video segments
is perfect for the educational environment."
