  • This invention relates to video services and, more particularly, to providing real time interactive video services through simultaneous reception of a video signal and provision of an interactive application.
  • Background of the Invention During the last few decades, same-time-same-place gambling has been complemented by same-time-different-place activities.
  • Telephone betting has a long history that includes activities that have been proscribed (e.g., starting price or S.P. bookies), that have been approved (e.g., on-course bookies), and, in some countries, that have been State-conducted (e.g., phone-betting with State Government Totalisator Agency Boards or TABs).

  • Digital television provides more channels at a higher quality than is currently available with analog broadcasts.
  • One analog channel provides the capacity for one high-definition (HDTV) broadcast or several standard definition (SDTV) broadcasts.
  • Digital television is scalable between these two extremes. Therefore, digital broadcasters can make a trade-off between vastly improved image and sound quality and an increased number of programming choices.
  • Digital television is deliverable to moving receivers.
  • analog television reception is non-existent or severally limited in moving receivers.
  • digital receivers allow for clear reception in cars, buses, trains, and in handheld television sets such as the Sony WatchmanTM. With a GSM mobile phone connected to a laptop and a DVB-T (terrestrial) receiver plug-in card, browsing the web at speeds of 2-14 Mb/s is possible.
