What is Web TV

• WebTV is a easy way to access the Internet from your TV.
• You don't need a computer and there's no software to load.
• All you need is a television, a phone line, and a WebTV Internet terminal.

Problems Sending Cards or Viewing Web Sites

• Internet Explorer or Netscape Browsers read "marked up" or coded pages (usually HTML but not always) that reside on servers and interpret the coding into what we see as a Web page.
• If you cannot view the Web Page   it is the way your WebTv browser is interpreting the Web page's code. 
• CGI or Postcard scripts - Not all CGI or Postcards scripts are written to be compatible with WebTv.
• If you cannot view the Web Page or use the Postcard script with your WebTv Internet Terminal you might want to contact your WebTv manufacturer and request an upgrade.

WebTv Graphics Help

Prior to the creation of the Transloader service WebTV users had no way of copying graphics or music files for their use without linking to the source.  For web sites offering graphics and music WebTv users have created an added burden by causing a slowdown of their site and an increased cost for their bandwidth charges.  So please do not link to graphics or music on sites.

Please visit links below for more information:
