CNN Enhanced TV, a new interactive news service offered through EchoStar's DISH Network satellite TV service promises to close the loop between the newsroom and the home by allowing viewers a way to provide feedback.
With CNN Enhanced TV, DISH Network subscribers can get the latest headlines and images from CNN.com in conjunction with CNN/U.S. programming on DISH Network's DishHOME on channel 100.
The system will allow subscribers to view graphically rich headlines and stories, vote in polls and access CNN.com without leaving their television sets. Built by OpenTV, CNN Enhanced TV enables DISH Network to make many CNN.com stories available from a range of categories, including Top Stories, U.S. & World, Technology & Science, Sports, Showbiz & Health and Business.
Using their remote controls, DISH Network customers can reach the CNN Enhanced TV channel through DishHOME on DISH Network channel 100 or by pressing "select" when a CNN Enhanced TV commercial is shown on DISH Network.
In the future, users will be able to access the CNN Enhanced TV application whenever they tune into CNN/U.S. located on channel 200. There is no additional fee for access to CNN Enhanced TV.
