OpenTV Enables Multi-Platform Interactivity For FOXTEL And AUSTAR Winter Olympics Coverage

OpenTV Corp. (NASDAQ: OPTV), a leading software and technology provider of advanced digital television solutions, is powering a unique, multi-platform interactive application for the FOXTEL and AUSTAR networks, two of the company’s longstanding customers in Australia, that enables enhanced coverage of the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.

The Vancouver Olympic Winter Games application allows FOXTEL and AUSTAR subscribers to view all four dedicated subscription channels in a mosaic - one for each of the Vancouver Olympics locations - and select one for full screen viewing. FOXTEL’s interactive application allows the network to offer their customers a rich and wide array of interactive data and information to enhance and complement the most extensive coverage of an Olympic Winter Games ever offered in Australia. FOXTEL will broadcast 1600 hours of coverage across four HD and four SD channels – with every gold medal event broadcast live and in full and every event with an Australian competitor broadcast live and in full. The broadcast coverage is complemented by mobile and Web coverage served by the same back-end systems and database provided by OpenTV.

“OpenTV’s technology is a fundamental component of our Vancouver Olympics offering, delivering systems not only for FOXTEL and AUSTAR networks but also complementing the broadcast coverage by enabling mobile and broadband interactivity,” said Peter Campbell, FOXTEL’s Director, Sports & Olympic Games. “The OpenTV team has once again demonstrated its ability to transform FOXTEL’s vision for the Olympic Games coverage into interactive television reality for both SD and HD set top boxes, and proven that it can do so in the face of a challenging on air deadline.”

“FOXTEL is once again showing 21 ^st century leadership in digital TV by providing a compelling, interactive experience for its subscribers across TV, Web and mobile media,” said Ben Bennett, OpenTV’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to be delivering some of the key cross platform technology components that will enable this rich user experience during the 2010 Winter Olympics.”

FOXTEL’s and AUSTAR’s coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games began on Saturday, February 13 ^th.
