Interact-TV Leverages Linux to Advance Robust Entertainment
Server Features 


WESTMINSTER, Colo., April 26  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Expanding with Linux
into the mainstream, Interact-TV(TM) (OTC:ITVI), a leading developer of home
entertainment servers, is leveraging recent Linux advancements to drive forward
the underlying power, stability and features of its Telly Home Entertainment
Server(TM) line.

Interact-TV uses Linux technologies such as logical volume management to
eliminate customer confusion about where digital media is located on the system
and the ability to support RAID for the ultimate in secure, reliable digital
media storage in the home.  Leveraging new technology available from vendors
such as Seagate(TM) to monitor hard drive status allows Interact-TV software to
predict significant drive failure before any data is lost.  All of these
features provide ease of use and peace of mind for the consumer.  Linux also
provides the ability to share and mount PC, Mac and other file systems over the
home network.  This is the same technology now available in most servers that
drive the Internet today.

"Leveraging Linux with open source software development allows us to quickly
provide new technologies as well as lower the overall cost of development,
therefore providing a lower cost to the consumer," stated Ken Fuhrman, CEO of
Interact-TV.  "Linux has made it in the server world and, according to
predictions published by market research company IDC, the Linux operating
system will account for 29% of units shipped into the worldwide server market
in 2008, up from 12% last year.  We feel confident that Linux is the future for
the next generation of media management devices for the home."
