it needs to market and sell this product and service.

Comments: WebTV, by it's own admission, is a very small company.
With Microsoft behind them, they'll be able to
accomplish more in the future for the users. As long
as WebTV remains as personable with their one on one
responses at WeCare, I don't have any problem with the
deal.
Some people are upset that this move wasn't even
discussed wth the users, but the bottom line is that
the company does not belong to the users. The users
are exactly that...users of a service, not owners.
WebTV has made a move that they feel confident in and
this company has always kept the users in mind. I have
faith that they have placed major consideration on how
this would effect us.
I will always love my WebTV!!!

was that webtv would go out of business, thats not
likely now that its under the Microsoft umberlla.

Comments: #1.) The newsgroup threading improved today; I also
like the expanded archive BUT without the ability to
quote from previous newsgroup posts within a thread,
we can't participate on a par with other usenet users;
There has been relatively little complaining about the
lack of a quote feature; could that be because most
WebTV users aren't participating in actual discussion
forums? Maybe most users are not exploring beyond
WebTV's own newsgroups which encourage commenting
rather than the back-and-forth discussion of
particular points which is characteristic of many
other newsgroups. I do a lot of lurking now that we
have a newsreader, but without quote I have to stay
on the sideline of most discussions.
#2.) I still don't like digital music, but WebTV's
background selections are no worse than any others
#3.) I first learned about WebTV online (press
announcemnts, news releases)
#4.) Why do you care how old I am? NOYB ;-)

Comments: I love my Phillips WebTV. The only problem I have
encountered is the automatic power shut off. It got
so bad that Phillips had to send me a new one (they
were fast and wonderful about this). Unfortunately, I
am having the same problem with the new unit. Not as
frequently as the other though. Also, this time I get
a split-screen effect before the power goes off. I
often travel out of state on weekends, and I take my
WebTV with me. I did encounter one problem when I
tried to hook it up in a Crown Suites hotel in
Columbus, Georgia two weeks ago. The hotel had a
Digital PBX telephone system which the people at
1-800-GOWEBTV said WebTV was not compatable with.
I've had success hooking it up in all other hotels,
though. To be on the safe side, I always call the
hotel in advance to make sure they have an easy access
phone jack and that the cable on their television set
can be removed so I can use an RU adapter. I recently
e-mailed WebTV and asked them if they would ever
design a carrying case for the wireless keyboard (I
keep mine in a plastic bag at home so cat hair and
dust don't get in it or on it) because I have to pack
it very carefully. They responded that that idea is
in the works, but no product release date was
available. p.s. I love your page. Quite
informative!

expecting webtv will really take of wth the onset of
internet-ready tv sets?will it be to microsoft's best

Comments: 1) webtv's own newsgroups are technically inferior
to other newsgroup formats. .users is informative
but repetative. .talk is mostly juvvy sex stuff.
2) would perfer the ability to import any RA or MIDI
for background.
