I once sent an email by typing it using the NTL remote, it was such a faff I never did it again. The concept of interactive TV wasn’t a bad one on paper, the execution was so poor. I know you could buy keyboards from Sky/Open, NTL, On Digital etc but that didn’t add much to the experience.
NTL used TwoWay TV which in fairness did have some semi decent games. When they got around to updating their software properly to CR3/Liberate 1.2 we were given interactive Fifteen to One, which worked very well, but it was a case of too little too late.
