Philips Magnavox MAT976A1 Webtv Plus
Tremendous benefits of WebTV Plus.
WebTV Plus not only allows going to Internet sites (saving on file your many favorites), it allows searching for info when you do not already know what site to access. I use secure Online Banking to send e-checks to pay all my bills without postage cost. I did all my Christmas shopping this  year online without leaving my house. UPS and FedEx carried all my  purchases to my home. I will continue to use secure online ordering via  WebTV as my first choice for everything that does not melt (unless they  also promise cold shipment for food, flowers, etc.). Send e-mail to  friends, take part in chat rooms, write your own Congressman, and visit  manufacturer sites to check product specs. E-mail problems to companies you  have business with, getting their advice. Avoid having to use 800-numbers  and endless voice mail options. Shop in the middle of the night, Sundays,  holidays, and hours when retail stores are closed. Order from home when the  weather is rainy or cold. Ladies feel safer shopping online than in mall  parking lots. Visit eFax.com and sign up for their free incoming fax  service, which allow you to also receive faxes at home at no cost to you.  You can forward copies of those faxes to anyone else as an attachment to  your own e-mail. You can attach most Canon or Hewlett Packard brands color  printers (using a printer cable) to WebTV Plus and print out whateveryou  wish online that you see. Many credit account files can be accessed online  (like American Express, MasterCard, VISA) so you can see your bill before  you receive it. Online banking lets you monitor every transaction on your  checking or savings each day as it develops, compared to only a monthly  summary mailed to you. WebTV Plus also allows you to watch TV programs  (using picture-in-picture even if your TV set does not already have PIP)  while you web surf, order goods online, write e-letters, or pay bills by  e-check (they get a bank money order in the mail, with the bank paying the  postage).WebTV sends out regular upgrades online to improve your system.  You also get a free guide onscreen to TV programs, local news and weather,  movies showing in your city, and access to NBC News bulletins with photos  as soon as you go online everyday. WebTVchecks twice daily to seeif you  have incoming e-mail. It checks daily at 3am by itself and you choose the  other time (I picked 5pm, so it would have checked just before Iget home;  if the red message light is not on,I eat supper before going online). You  are always  immediately notified by the red light and a chirp sound if  e-mail arrives while you are already online doing something else. WebTV  Plus allows up to 6 e-mail users/names in your home, and allows the parent  to limit children access to G or PG-13 level web sites free of charge, all  done with passwords you set; parents know the children's passwords, but  kids do not know their parent's access unlimited passwords. Parents can  review e-mailsent and received by the kids to protect them, as well as  favorite web sitesthey are visiting.You can set up your own free personal  web page.You can visit web sites ofnew movies released, and learn more  about the moviesbefore you go to see them.WebTV (add the optional under-$50  wireless keyboard) is much cheaper than a computer, with automatic upgrades  from WebTV at no cost. I use WebTV to help in every part of my life, from  business matters, to personal shopping, to look at charge accounts, to pay  bills via online banking, and to send personal e-mail letters and to make  new friends. WebTV has made my life a better place to live.
