...Britain's Channel 4. In one window on your computer monitor RealOne can deliver exclusive streaming audio and video, such as archived clips of Elton John, the Police and U2, from the bbc's The Old Grey Whistle Test, a TV rock show from the '70s and '80s. An adjoining window displays text information about the video. Another window allows users to surf the Web - or even work - as the video plays, while a fourth features a personalized list of things to play or listen to. The idea is to marry the best of TV with the Web. And charge...
