Sky News Active Online
Sky News continued to innovate this year by introducing Sky News Active Online - a broadband content service based on award winning Sky News Active.

Sky Bet Live
Following the success of the Sky Bet service, Sky Bet Live launched in December 2002 for the Arsenal v Manchester United game. This provides live in-running betting commentary from the experts for Premiership and Nationwide League football matches. It enables football fans watching a game on Sky Sports 1 via digital satellite to place bets throughout the game while they are watching.

Interactive TV
Throughout the year, the range of interactive services from both Sky Active and third-party channels on digital satellite continued to expand with a whole host of new games and services launching.

Sky One
Sky One embraced interactive TV during the year with the Interactive Simpsons - which gave fans the chance to vote for their favourite Simpsons episodes via the red button. This was concluded with an August bank holiday bonanza where the top ten episodes voted for were broadcast back-to-back over the holiday weekend.

70,000 votes were placed via the red interactive button and telephone for Michael Jackson: The Untold Story.

Sky Gamepad
In December 2002 the UK's first dedicated digital TV games controller - Sky Gamepad - was launched, enabling Sky Gamestar selected titles to be played by up to four people in a household, simultaneously, all via the wireless controllers.

Sky Movies Active
Pressing the red button on the Sky handset takes the viewer to eight separately streamed preview screens where they can watch current movie trailers, together with interviews with the stars and directors. Alongside this is an extensive text service which offers film reviews, synopses and actor/director profiles and the latest movie news. Viewers can even buy cinema tickets and DVDs through Sky Movies Active.

Skymovies.com
Skymovies.com has a massive database covering 30,000 film titles, together with hundreds of biographies and picture galleries as well as the latest movie news and gossip.

Sky+
The UK's first integrated digibox and digital personal video recorder, Sky+, continued to receive acclaim throughout the media, winning many awards, most recently Home Entertainment's Mega Test Best Buy, with a five-star rating in August 2003. Satisfaction levels with the Sky+ service are very positive with over 90% of Sky+ customers saying they are likely to recommend it to friends and family.
