Intel Phasing Out Intercast

Intel is phasing out Intercast, the interactive television service that brings additional television content to a home PC via a proprietary TV tuner card.

Instead, the company will increase its support for the Advanced Television Enhancement Forum’s specification (ATVEF), which is more of a robust universal standard than Intercast.

A handful of broadcasters currently use Intercast technology, including CNN, ESPN, Lifetime and QVC.
