1. A system for providing content comprising:
- a controller in operable communication with a first display device and a second display device and providing first content to the first display device and second interactive content to the second display device, the first content and the second interactive content being synchronized by a content provider; and
an interface for receiving a command from a user or application, wherein the controller selectively controls the first content displayed by the first display device and the second interactive content displayed by the second display device in response to the command;
wherein the command is for un-synchronizing the first content and the second interactive content such that changes to second interactive content do not affect the first content and changes to the first content do not affect the second interactive content, the changes including selecting new second interactive content;
wherein the interface receives a further command, the further command for synchronizing the first content and the second interactive content such that changes to second interactive content affect the first content and changes to the second interactive content affect the first content.

8. A method for providing interactive content comprising:
-
transmitting first content to a first display device; transmitting second interactive content to a second display device, the first content and the second interactive content being synchronized by a content provider; receiving a command from a user or application; and controlling display of the first and second interactive content responsive to the command; wherein the command is for un-synchronizing the first content and the second interactive content such that changes to second interactive content do not affect the first content and changes to the first content do not affect the second interactive content, the changes including selecting new second interactive content; wherein the interface receives a further command, the further command for synchronizing the first content and the second interactive content such that changes to second interactive content affect the first content and changes to the second interactive content affect the first content. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product for providing interactive content, the computer program product comprising:
-
a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method comprising; transmitting first content to a first display device; transmitting second interactive content to a second display device, the first content and the second interactive content being synchronized by a content provider; receiving a command from a user or application; and controlling display of the first and second interactive content responsive to the command; wherein the command is for un-synchronizing the first content and the second interactive content such that changes to second interactive content do not affect the first content and changes to the first content do not affect the second interactive content, the changes including selecting new second interactive content; wherein the interface receives a further command, the further command for synchronizing the first content and the second interactive content such that changes to second interactive content affect the first content and changes to the second interactive content affect the first content. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
