When is IDTV not IDTV?

Tim Elliott (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Wednesday, 8th January 2003, 01:25

I have a Bush `Integrated Digital Television Set`!

Except it isn`t Integrated, if what I understand `Integrated` to mean.
It doesn`t do anything when I press that `little old red button`, as one
annoying newsreader once put it. He didn`t hear me reply, lucky for him.
But its not his fault. He doesn`t know that Bush made a few Digital tellys
which didn`t do the integrated thing and I bet he never will.

Do you think it may possibly be an offence under the Trade Descriptions Act?

No. You`re getting "integrated" confused with "interactive"!

"Integrated" simply means "built-in" - i.e. the TV set has a built-in digital receiver.

"Interactive" is what happens when you press the red button.

Aw thanks Mike!

THATS why nothing happens with MY red button.

I dont think interactivity is all its cracked up to be anyway!
