BBC i-bar
On December 1st, the BBC added a competition quiz option called "Christmas Countdown" to its i-bar, accessible by pressing the "text" key, followed by the green button, on the SkyDigital remote. Once visible on the screen, the mini-app poses a daily question about a BBC program (the competition will last until Christmas). Viewers can answer the question via bbc.co.uk, Web on TV, or digital cable. They can also send in email over their PC, or via SMS messaging. There are daily prizes, as well as the chance to win a wide-screen TV if viewers collect every answer and are then able to solve a puzzle based on them. The text-based competition is supplemented by a daily item of Christmas trivia and a joke. New content categories on the i-bar also include Showbiz News, Top Of The Pops news, games charts, horoscopes, lottery results, soap news and gossip. A Travel section allows the viewer to check the state of London roads live over the TV via 70 traffic cameras, and also provides up-to-the minute rail, road, ferry and London Transport information.
