                            TELE-COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

                        Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
                         Securities Exchange Act of 1934

                                  in respect of

                                   ACTV, Inc.
                         -------------------------------
                         (Commission File No. 001-10377)


ITEM 1.  Security and Issuer

         Tele-Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TCI"), hereby
amends and supplements its Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") with
respect to the Common Stock, $.10 par value, of ACTV, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer"), which Common Stock was previously reported as
beneficially owned by TCI (the "Common Stock"). The Issuer's principal executive
offices are located at 1270 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. Unless
otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Statement.

ITEM 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         On March 9, 1999, TCI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T Corp., a
New York corporation ("AT&T") pursuant to a merger of an AT&T subsidiary with
and into TCI (the "AT&T Merger"). As part of an internal restructuring conducted
by TCI in conjunction with the AT&T Merger (the "Restructuring"), Liberty Media
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCI ("LMC"), assumed beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock, and has filed an initial Statement on Schedule
13D to reflect such assumption. Consequently, subsequent statements on Schedule
13D pertaining to the Common Stock will by filed by LMC.


ITEM 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
the following:

         (c) In connection with the Restructuring, LMC assumed beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock.

         (e) As a result of the Restructuring and LMC's assumption of beneficial
ownership of the Common Stock, LMC has assumed the reporting obligations with
respect to such Common Stock.
