Under the deal, AOL will let owners of Viiv PCs, which run an entertainment platform designed and promoted by Intel, download episodes of "Welcome Back, Kotter" to the computers, according to sources close to the companies. They will also be able to download studio movies and music. Consumers could then watch or listen to the downloads through connected TVs and stereo equipment.
