Question by pinkmusic108: can anyone tell me a little about a thing called “Web TV”?
I was shopping in a thrift store about a week ago with a friend and came across this thing that looked like a small cable box along with a keyboard and some wires and things to plug it all in. It was called web tv and the price tag said 24 bucks. I asked a sales person what was Web TV? She said you hook this up and you can use the internet on your television screen instead of using a computer. I asked her “dont you still have to pay for internet service somehow”? She said no but something doesnt seem right. I would thing with any internet wether by computer, dsl, cable whatever you still have to pay for some sort of service. So I am asking anyone out there just what is this Web Tv all about? Is this really free and how does it all work?

You do have to pay for internet service (or you did when web tv was still around).
It is pretty much worthless, I don’t know why someone is selling it.
Web TV was bought out by Microsoft and is now called MSN TV. I don’t know if it still works with the old web tv boxes, but it really isn’t worth it.
