Pros: easily access information Cons: interface sucks
WebTV is a good way for people to access the internet who don't have the money to purchase a computer. This allows one to make double use of their television --- you know to watch TV and use it as their monitor!
Pros: Easy to use, integrated with TV, inexpensive to get started on the net. Cons: Doesn't have a hard drive for downloads, does not support java, and some media files. Does not support Flash 4.0
Well what can I say, the world wide web is here to stay. So why not surf it in style. If you don't want to dish out hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a computer, then let me introduce you to WebTV.
Pros: easy access to the internet, email, interactive with your t.v. set Cons: webtv is not a computer, can not visit all the sites on the internet, it's slow loading webpages
I love my webtv. I bought it about 6 months ago for email, and I"ve used it every day since I turned it on. It's an easy way to get access to the internet without buying a computer. And it's portable, you can hook it up to an t.v. set and phone...
WEBTV hooks up directly to your TV, and then the Phone Cord gets hooked up into there. There is a Classic Model which is like $99, and the Plus Model which is like $199. If you are wanting to hook up a Printer and VCR, I highly recommend you getting the...
Pros: Inexpensive compared to computer, no maintanence needed. Cons: interface took some getting used to, only seems to support Microsoft Media Player
I bought my Phillips Magnavox Web TV box about a year ago and have used it almost every day since. I got the Classic model that came with the wireless keyboard (which is well worth the extra $50 over the one with out the keyboard). There are many...
Pros: Ease of setup,startup and use Cons: Unable to download
AWESOME!!That was my first impression when I heard about the concept of Internet capabilities on any TV. As I soon learned, Webtv has it's limitations also.
When I purchased my system ($99) I also purchased the wireless keyboard ($49) for...
Pros: surfing the web fast and easy, And Relaxing sitting in your livingroom furniture Cons: Can't do all that much, no where near as good as having a computer
I don't personally have WebTv. But my best friend does. I don't really know if I would buy one, because I use my computer for so much more than just internet things. I don't know all that web tv has to offer now, but I know they have come a long way...
Pros: Great price, easy to learn Cons: Although it is easier than a computer, you cannot do as much as you can with a computer.
Before I start, let me tell you that I work in the Philips Magnavox WebTV customer care center. I take calls all day about problems with WebTV. However, most of the people just call because they can not figure out how to connect it to their TV (which...
Pros: easy to use and reasonably priced Cons: slow, unable to download, need separate ISP in rural areas to avoid long distance charges
Surfing the net on your television?!?!?!? Seemed far out for this gal who was pretty clueless when it came to computers. I recommend Webtv for anyone who wants simple e-mail and internet access and doesn't like the price and fuss of a computer. Webtv...
Pros: I now can surf from home when I want. Cons: can not get on my favorite chat lines.
I love surfing the net but allas I can not afford a computer. I had seen the first webtv three or four years ago the sales person told me it was not worth it at the time. there were to many hidden cost. what I did like about it then was the directory...
Pros: You can do everyhting...you get email, you can chat, surf, play games Cons: you can't download anything or do anyhting with Java
Web TV is absolutely the BEST thing other than a computor that is on the market today....First off if you want a computor, you go to the store, find one with an OK price....then after you buy it you find out the moniter in the photo in the add IS NOT...
Pros: internet access at a low price Cons: very limited as to what you can do
When I first got online, I accessed the internet by using a WebTV, I loved it at first, I was able to connect to the internet, surf the web and email friends and family out of town.
Once I got used to the WebTV, I realized how slow it was and...
Pros: Compact, cheaper than a computer,
easy set-up Cons: no mouse, slow as molasses, no multi-tasking and not fully internet friendly
I don't have a web tv unit at home but my parents do. My step-dad bought the Philips Magnavox MAT965 for my mom for Christmas about 4 years ago so that she could stay in touch with me and cut down on the phone bills while I was living overseas.

Yep I am one of the wives that the other half has to have ever gadget made for man, dog or beast. But, this gadget I had to fight for, and I won :-). I spend a great deal of time online working from home and sitting at my little 17 inch monitor wasn't...
