Magnavox MAT976KB MSNTV Plus with Terminal and Keyboard
great idea, but outdated technology
Bought this for the aged parents thinking it would be a nice alternative for the pricey PC system they are constantly having problems with.  <br />BIG MISTAKE.  Set up was simple, instructions were very clear.  However, MSN-TV uses a three or four year old version of Explorer.  In addition to outdated software, there is no memory.  So, many websites will not load.  The new funtionalities on many sites will not run.<br />All the MSN-TV is good for is e-mail.  If that's all you need, then this might fit the bill.  For any other purposes, look elsewhere.<br />As for the speed - well, let's just say that the aged parents are retired, but even they don't have THAT much time to waste.<br />All in all, a great idea which needs a lot more work.  Wait for the X-Box or Sony Playstation with web browing/e-mail capabilities.  At least then, the grandkids can also use it while visiting.
