There are so many things I can image this doing it will literally change the way we watch television. Both companies said the channels “will allow consumers to enjoy rich Internet applications designed for the TV while watching their favorite TV program.”

“TV will fundamentally change how we talk about, imagine and experience the Internet,” said Eric Kim, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the company’s Digital Home Group. “No longer just a passive experience unless the viewer wants it that way, Intel and Yahoo are proposing a way where the TV and Internet are as interactive and seamless as possible.
