I hope webtv updates soon for JAVA and Shockwave support, And also the ability to get frames this really bugs me. But as far as a Web browser this is it. I love to sit in my living room recliner and surf the web on my webtv. I just don't like all the sites I can't use fully.
The four most used keys (arrows) should be larger.
Love my WebTV. Looking forward to the upgrades.
keyboards okay, would like volume control on it.
We have access to the Net with both WebTV and PC's.. Our $5000 MAC can do Web things that WebTV cannot, but not 12 times the amount (which is the price difference). The access from WebTV is noticeably superior in terms of reliability (both with the Black Box performance and the ability to access the net anytime) and speed consistency when compared to our PC's. No, we're not AOL users, but have gone through 3 poor access providers already. All in all, WebTV is a bargain, simple to use, fun and improving a lot faster than our PC's. The printer adaptor seems to be in high demand. We'd like it too. Our computers are unable to handle the call waiting that WebTV does effortlessly notifying us of an incoming call and then returning to the point at which we were before the call. I could write several pages on the advantages of WebTV when compared to PC access and a much smaller list of disadvantages and problems. My wife refuses to use the PC now choosing instead to go the WebTV path for the Internet. We have been surprised by our technophobic senior citizen relatives who can't set the time on their VCR but use WebTV at our house. They've found a world beckoning their exploration keeping both their mind and spirit alive and well. AARP should recommend it to every member. We love our WebTV and want to do everything possible to ensure their success and longevity.
WEB TV is a very good tool for e-mail and surfing...looking forward for any expansion.
Keep it coming I looovvveeee my WebTV.
New at this. Hope WEBTV will help daughter find college and financial aid. Not successful at being able to chat.
WebTV is the best $400 I've ever spent!
Love this thing.
WebTV costs one fifth that of a PC...I have no real problems with the "short comings" of the product, based on the price. I feel fortunate that the Real Audio was SENT, rather than appearing on my bill. I spent very little money for something that is bringing me a plethora of heretofore unknow information !! I truly love it ! Check out a good WebTV-compatible chat site atAlamak.com...Cheers !
There are times its too busy to get on. Customer support doesn't get back to you.
I LOVE MY WEBTV !!!
I like the WebTV wireless keyboard !!! :-)
I have lots of complaints (many of which will no doubt be addressed in system enhancements.) But on the whole I am thrilled---and I was very skeptical at the outset. A concern is that according to a recent "unconfirmed" report in Broadcasting magazine, 30,000 WebTV terminals have been sold. This sounds shockingly low. Can't say I've seen a lot of advertising by retailers, which also suggests WebTV isn't a hot item. You'd think word of mouth would make units fly off the shelves !
WebTV is an excellent, affordable way to the internet and it's incredible wealth of knowledge. However, the system is still NOT able to get MPEG, Shockwave, AVI, RealAudio3.0, Microsoft Word .doc., and Java. So there really is ALOT of "tuneups" needed to bring system into the same "Playing Field" as the PC. If these hurdles are made than I would have to say you'd be "Crazy" not to buy a WebTV unit !!!
WebTV has made an immense difference in our lives, we no longer fight over who forgot to buy the TVguide. We read mystery stories together instead of watching sick unhappy TV shows. We check prices or products, we surf anytime of day or night. We have much to talk about and show each other. We send e-cards. (Check out the Kelloggs site !) WebTV - it's a "good" thing.
Keyboard does not come with instructions !?
On your homepage, list as many other WebTV homepages as possible ! In this way we can create a true community and share our interests !
Keyboard OK.
Waiting on updates, no problems with keyboard.
Keyboard should come with unit !
I haven't had any trouble with the keyboard.
Good Questions !
Don't have any gripes with the keyboard.
Have no problems with keyboard.
Too bad about the Pats huh. )-:
I can't believe Webtv hasn't really taken off yet. It's a good product at a good price. I think the price may still be keeping some people away.
On the keyboard can you tell me what the ESC, CTRL, CMND, ALT, and EDIT keys are for ? They don't do anything on my keyboard.
WWWebTV:Viewers please help Nashville out.
I love my WebTV
Too soon to tell about how WebTV's future looks, although I think if they market it right_and_provide more content/support for users, the sky's the limit.
I have no problems with the remote keyboard.
Good service !
Phenominal little box !
I love WebTV !!!!!
I don't really have any complaints with the keyboard.
