Banking from the Boob Tube

And we thought TVs were just for watching. Well, if you live in China, you'll soon be able to bank from your digital TV according to Xinhuanet.com:

The southern city of Shenzhen plans to launch the first TV bank in China enabling users to make transactions on TV, said sources with Shenzhen Media Group.

The bank is expected to be operational by the end of June in the city of South China's Guangdong Province.

With the bank, a user can make payments and shop by pressing buttons on the remote control.
