Sony INT-W100

Pros: Great media for all
Cons: None

I own the Sony INT-100 for web tv. I have been using this for over a year and I disconnected my computer because I like using this much more. I like sitting on my bed watching my 27" television. It is better than trying to read a small modem....

Pros: For some webtv is much easier than the computer
Cons: You can not do as much on a web tv as a computer.

A little less than a year ago I had just moved from Washington state to Montana, and was in the market for a Webtv so I could keep in contact with my oldest daughter without running up large phone bills. The first one I got was a nice little compact Sony...

Pros: email, usenet, internet, affordable set top box
Cons: can't download, a computer is better than this, ISP is too high

I got this webtv in July '98, as my philips magnavox webtv classic died on me. Well, I went to wards, and saw this unit for $99, so I bought it. Like many users of webtv, I couldn't afford a computer, so this was my way to get online until I can afford a...

Pros: relative low cost, easy set up, simple to use
Cons: inability to download, monthly fee

The WebTV is an OK product for those who want to get email and have the ability to get online. I can compare this to a computer, since I have used both quite a bit. THe WebTV does just what you would likely expect. It accesses the internet through the...

Pros: Easy to use and fit's every budget.
Cons: none

First of all, let me say that searching the web using WEBTV is very EASY. It's as easy as cutting on your television and plugging in a phone line. I have owned my WEBTV for almost a year. I brought it at THE WIZ, here in New York, for $59.99, it was on...

Pros: Cheap and easy to use
Cons: It not a computer (so what !).

I have long been and continue to be a webtv advocate. I have one myself which I keep in the front room attached to my 27" TV, though I have a cable modem attached to my computer in my office. Why you may ask. Go ahead. (you say why) I'll tell...

Pros: Smaller, Nicer and black
Cons: Printer Adapters no longer made

I bought my Sony WebTV Classic because it was smaller and nicer looking then the PM WebTV Classic my mother had. I have had it for over almost 2 years. I paid $99 for the WebTV and $49 for the Sony Wireless Keyboard, which also was better looking then...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive
Cons: It's just not a computer

When Web TV came out it seemed to be the best thing to happen in home entertainment since the television. As it turns out, the lack of hard drive space for downloading large files was a big turnoff for most people and sales suffered. Unfortunately, Web...

Pros: Easy e-mail to others on the net & Fun newsgroup community
Cons: Outdated NT based browser. Poor service in all aspects

This is my first opinion here at Epinions and when I noticed people had reviewed Webtv products my jaw dropped as I read good reviews on this product!

There is much that Sony, Philips Magnavox, and other makers of these little access boxes...

Pros: Bjorn Borg
Cons: Why buy it?

As a web designer and a internet addict, I suggest to all those considering a webtv, don't. The only situation I might recommend webtv would be for senior citizens or for those completely scared of computers.

Why?

Well, first off,...

Pros: Easy to hook up & use.
Cons: More E-mail storage capacity

About 2 months ago my boy bought this Web TV and hooked it up.Now there isn't a day goes by that it don't get turned on.I am a late bloomer when it comes to the internet & computers.In fact I still type with one finger,but faster now than 2 months...

Pros: Easy to use, good value
Cons: Problems with modems & customer service

About a year and a half ago, my husband and I bought our first Sony WebTV Classic and cordless keyboard because we simply couldn't afford a computer. We'd heard raves about it, and decided to take the plunge. I absolutely loved it! It was fantastic to...

Pros: Fast, fun, reliable, easy to use
Cons: no java

In October 1999, I was approaching a very serious back surgery and I thought what am I going to do without access to email via my computer since I would not be able to sit at a desk...well friends I found tha solution in WEBTV.I bought my first unit at...

Pros: umm..e-mail?
Cons: lack of customer service, many limitations, extremely slow, not worth it for the $$

My relationship with my webtv began about 3 years ago. It has been a tumultuous 3 years. I should have listened when my friends and family told me to stay away. But I was young and brash, and I thought I knew what was best for me.

Pros: Cheap, easy way to get on the Internet
Cons: No printer adapter available for older Sony Web TV models

About six months ago, I decided that it was time to purchase a printer for my old Sony Web TV classic unit. I searched through several electronics stores in search of a printer adapter, to no avail. After asking about the possibility of ordering one, I...
