Yahoo, Intel to pipe sports data to TV screens

Cory Bergman September 13th, 2006

Called Yahoo Sports for TV, the free service will feed sports fans a steady stream of statistics. But to get the service, you’ll need a Intel Viiv PC. It’s all part of a plan to convince consumers of the benefits of Viiv, Intel’s media-focused technology. “One of the challenges with Viiv is that the platform is so rich and so powerful,” said Kevin Corbett, vice president of Intel’s digital home group. “The tough thing is how do you explain that to the consumer.”
