       Re:  ACTV, Inc., Form S-3 (File No.: 333-48852)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Pursuant to Rule 477(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, ACTV, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby applies for an order granting
the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form S-3, together
with all exhibits thereto, Commission File No.: 333-48852, filed on
October 27, 2000 (the "Registration Statement").

     The Registration Statement was filed due to an error on the part of the
filing agent; the filing agent was not given authorization to file the
Registration Statement.

     Accordingly, we request an order granting the withdrawal of the
Registration Statement be issued by the Commission as soon as possible.

     If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please contact
Jay Kaplowitz, outside counsel of the Registrant, at (212) 752-9700.


                                       Sincerely,

                                       ACTV, Inc.


                                       By: /s/ William C. Samuels
