You can pause live events and resume them, because programming is automatically stored for viewing. But OpenTV can't perform sophisticated transactions like the Web can, and it doesn't operate in real time.

But Black isn't sure integrating the technologies is the right way to go. The PC experience is interactive.
TV is a laid back, passive, and sometimes even lying-down, experience.
