MUMBAI: Live TV with chat, where viewers can chat live about a subject as they watch, is being added to Wi-FiTV under the name MyWi-FiTV.com.

The MyWi-FiTV.com live chat feature will be introduced during the next Wi-FiTV.com live event and be activated in Wi-Fi TV's country and category pages, and will also be used selectively throughout the Wi-Fi TV web site as events warrant, the release adds.

Anytime there is major breaking news on a subject, Wi-Fi TV will not only provide live TV coverage but will enable its members to chat live with text that will appear directly below the Wi-Fi TV Virtual Player, states an official release.

"This is all about re-inventing the TV experience to encompass the interactivity and sense of community that the Internet offers. The front porch of today is no longer on a town street, it is online and Wi-Fi TV makes the whole world your neighbor," said Shelley Dietrich of Wi-Fi TV Inc.

This technology will also be utilized in support of the www.Wine-TV.com channel, which is to be carried exclusively by Wi-Fi TV. Wine connoisseurs will be able to chat with each other about wine at www.Wine-TVChat.com

Currently, Wi-Fi TV is offering a free 30 day trial (at www.Wi-FiTV.com) of its service, which offers access to over 200 live TV channels from over 50 countries as well as Voice over IP phone calls, breaking news headlines, message boards and video chat for its members. Annual subscriptions to Wi-Fi TV are only 99 cents per month.
