NBC to cue up PC "convergence" - Tech News - CNET.com
Millions of TV sets will be hooked up to new wires beginning this summer--if NBC and technology company DigitalConvergence have their way.

On Monday, the two companies launched CueTV, a technology that acts like a remote control linking TV programming with the Web. The debut is set to kick off an NBC giveaway of $400,000 in prizes from June 13 to July 11.

To ensure the promotion gets off the ground, beginning this week more than 7,000 RadioShack retail outlets around the country will start giving away millions of technology kits, which include a special cable and software for the PC.

Just call it revenge of Cue::Cat!
