Mid-90's in the United States...

Somehow I bought a Hauppauge TV tuner card, it may have been this one:

"Receive data broadcasts with Intercast and Wavetop"

Now, I don't remember anything I specifically downloaded using this. I'm not sure if it was still being used at the time, or if it was even supported in my area. I picked the tuner card up at a surplus store and it was at least a year or two old at that time.

I remember you needed to use a certain application and images or websites or something would appear in a browser while you were watching a TV show.

Edit: Intel Intercast, apparently
