Well, the obvious candidates are:

	. Philips (Sony, others) manufacturing & selling a line of CD-I systems
	. Commodore CDTV
	. Tandy's new VIS (Video Information System)

All of these are consumer devices that to use a standard TV as the
display & are based on CD-ROMs (I'm not 100% sure of CDTV, but I think
this is correct).

Personally, I find the VIS to be the most interesting/promising.
