TWIN ENTERTAINMENT IS NEW JOINT VENTURE
OF INTERACTIVE NETWORK AND TWO WAY TV

     SAN FRANCISCO -- TWIN Entertainment Inc., a new U.S.-based joint venture of
two world leaders in interactive television, has been formally launched,
bringing the dream of real-time gaming and interactive entertainment and
information one step closer to realization.

     Bruce W. Bauer, chairman and CEO of Interactive Network Inc. (IN), and
William Andrews, chairman of Two Way TV Limited (TWTV), said that TWIN
Entertainment -- to be jointly owned by both companies -- will incorporate
Interactive Network's software and proprietary intellectual property and Two Way
TV's advanced technology, knowhow and intellectual property.

     "The launch of TWIN Entertainment -- coupled with new exclusive licensing
agreements between IN and TWTV and the growth of digital television -- assures
that the new joint venture and its two parent companies will be able to dominate
the interactive gaming, entertainment and advertising markets worldwide," said
Bauer.

     "Best of all, the ability to play along with game shows, live sporting
events and other TV programming doesn't compete with home shopping, video-on-
demand and the like," he added. "It's compatible, even synergistic -- giving
consumers more choices in the world of interactive digital television."

     IN says that all conditions to the closing of the joint venture and stock
purchase agreement, including bankruptcy court approval, have been met and that
TWIN Entertainment Inc., the previously announced joint venture, has been formed
as of Jan. 31, 2000,


     As previously announced, the licenses from each of the parties will
initially be non-exclusive. IN has agreed to solicit the approval of its
shareholders to make its licenses to TWIN Entertainment exclusive at its annual
meeting, at which time the TWTV licenses will also become exclusive. IN will be
filing the text of the joint venture agreements shortly with the SEC.

     "The licensing to TWIN by these two pioneering interactive companies --
with more than 20 years of interactive experience between them -- vests the new
joint venture with what it needs to become the dominant player in the
interactive segment of games of skill and real-time play-along," Bauer said.

     "It is my opinion that this segment will be the driving force behind the
delivery of that single magic box that delivers whatever consumers want in the
way of entertainment as well as telecommunications, home shopping and all the
rest."

     Interactive Network (INNN OTC:bb), founded in 1988, holds some of the most
basic patents in the emerging market for delivering entertainment and
information directly to consumers' homes, whether via cable, satellite, the
Internet, VBI (vertical blanking signal) or wireless.

     A settlement in April 1999 with TCI, NBC, Sprint and Motorola returned
clear title of those patents to the company. In addition, $38.4 million in
principal and accrued interest on IN's notes was converted to common stock, and
the noteholders paid $10 million plus interest in cash.

     "Those patents represent a genuine bar to direct competition," Bauer said,
"giving IN -- and now TWIN Entertainment -- a leg up on the growing market for
interactive services."

     Two Way TV Ltd. has been rolling out interactive services via all three
major cable operators in the United Kingdom -- TeleWest, Cable & Wireless and
NTL.

     By one analyst's estimate, the 700,000 homes in the U.S. now capable of
being served by interactive TV will rise to 14 million by 2004, creating a
$4.7-billion market.
