Interact-TV Unveils System Integrator Program to Empower
Traditional PC Builders With Telly Media Capabilities at CES 2005
- Telly Home Entertainment Server Products Assembled and Customized by System
Integrators Provide New Avenues to Profit for the White Box Computer Sector -



LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interact-TV(TM) (OTC:ITVI), a
leading developer of home entertainment servers, is unveiling a program to
enable independent system builders and integrators to take advantage of the
burgeoning market for home entertainment servers and build a competitive edge
over traditional OEMs.

Telly, the first Home Entertainment Server built for the living room, makes it
easy to store, manage, access and enjoy digital entertainment in the home.  Now
enjoying an expanding customer base, Telly servers have been acclaimed for
providing a broad range of easy-to-use media solutions.

By allowing system builders to provide assembly as well as components
(including hard disk drive storage, memory, and optical drives) there is
increased opportunity for profit over the PC sector which has been overshadowed
by larger players.  Interact-TV has developed a kit that includes the software
and license for Telly's EOS Media Platform, trackball remote control, IR
keyboard, IR receiver, Mini-ITX(TM) mainboards and a series of chassis that are
designed to fit into the entertainment center.  The system builder can take
this Interact-TV kit and leverage their knowledge of building PCs to assemble
Home Entertainment Servers to meet consumer's needs, both in terms of price and
functionality.  A key element in this market is that the Home Entertainment
Server is expandable; consumers can add more storage later as their media
library grows and the Linux-based operating system can be upgraded with
additional features as the market grows providing further after-sale
opportunities for resellers.

Ken Fuhrman, CEO of Interact-TV explains the strategy, saying, "In the same way
the system builder of PCs saw tremendous growth in the 1990s, the market for
home entertainment servers is the next tremendous opportunity for system
builders and integrators wanting to capitalize on emerging trends."  He
expanded upon this trend commenting that "Consumers are installing home
networks at an incredible rate; broadband penetration is now over 38 million
homes.  Consumers are looking beyond the PC for their next purchase of a device
that leverages their broadband connection and home network to deliver
entertainment where and when they want it."

Telly Home Entertainment Servers provide for a PVR with a shared digital media
library that can include entire music CD, DVD and digital photo collections as
well as recorded videos, home videos, and Internet downloaded videos.  Telly
also includes DVD and CD archiving and instant access to weather, financial
information and movie listings.  This digital media library may be shared with
networked Telly clients, media adapters, and PCs across any home network,
whether wired or wireless, and can be managed from any web browser.
