Microsoft Corp. presented new software last week to help cable television companies develop digital TV programming and services.
The software, called Microsoft TV Foundation Edition, is a new technological platform designed to run on the digital cable boxes that sit atop many television sets.
The software, installed on both customers' set-top boxes and on computer servers at cable companies, includes applications for cable operators to create and deliver on-screen TV guides, movies-on-demand and interactive advertisements for their customers.
