News.com reporter goes to Verizon’s main research and testing facility and tests out its IPTV service, in trial in Keller, Texas for now..
One of the new services currently being tested here is an interactive fantasy sports application that lets viewers compare statistics and keep track of points on their TVs while they’re watching games.
Verizon believes that Web interaction won’t end with fantasy sports leagues. People may want to integrate other Web-based content into their TV-viewing. In the kitchen, for example, someone watching Jamie Oliver’s “The Naked Chef” on The Food Network may want to pull up the recipe on the TV screen as they cook along with the program.
