RCA RM2100 MSNTV Internet Receiver
too basic
Purchased this item for the elderly parents as an alternative to the expensive PC system we'd bought for them to use for web and e-mail - and which was too complicated.  This system seemed simple enough and covered all my parents' needs.<br />We were very disappointed.  This unit IS simple to set up and easy to use.  However, this unit is truly basic. It runs an outdated version of Internet Explorer (version 3 or 4). The home screen feels old - the closest equivalent would be the original version of Prodigy back in the late '80's.  <br />More importantly, because it runs an antique version of Explorer AND has no memory, many web sites won't load or will be missing large chunks.  If you want to read foreign language newspapers or sites - forget it - this system has no extended fonts.<br />This system has potential, but they need to upgrade the software.  I would not recommend purchasing this item unless all you want is e-mail capability; you will find it frustrating if you use it for web-surfing.
