Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔi, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's interactive TV service, picked up three prestigious awards at the AFDESI Interactive TV Awards including the Grand Prix.
Μύ
The interactive version of Waking The Dead scooped two awards, for Best Design and Best Set Top Box Application.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Multiplatform Productions, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Vision team – along with Future Media & Technology and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Drama – produced the ground-breaking and innovative service, which accompanied the popular Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One crime drama earlier this year.

The Waking The Dead interactive service on digital satellite was technically advanced for the project. Through using zoom and visual fades, within the application, the team created a world in which the audience was in control – offering them a unique and immersive user experience, with production values matching the quality of the main TV programme.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ also won the Grand Prix for its contribution to interactive TV services for 2006/7, a year in which it also was awarded an International Emmy for its Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔi service, now used by over 11 million UK viewers a week.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has always been committed to offering a quality and innovative interactive television service and these awards prove that the industry recognises our on going efforts."
