Liberate Technologies and ESPN said they are working together to deliver enhanced programming on the Liberate TV Platform Compact software. Liberate enables cable programmers and operators to provide enhanced programming and applications based on open-standards - with access to an array of interactive content and services. Among the initial offerings are: ESPN Today Plus VOD, Synchronous programming and ESPN Extra.

I already get ESPN VOD, but it doesn't really have any interactive features. I hope this is a step up.

What exactly will "Synchronous programming" consist of? Does this just mean that it will be an interactive screen offering info on whatever happens to be airing on ESPN 1/2/etc at the current time, and therefore "Synchronized" with the program schedule, or ?
