WebTV® is not the Internet tacked onto your TV screen--quite the
contrary. WebTV is designed to harness the power of the Internet to
make watching television more involving, more entertaining, even
more inspirational.
Say you're watching TV and you want to know more about the
show. WebTV allows you to find the information in moments with a
click of the remote. You can watch a baseball game and research
statistics at the same time. Or check out the Seinfield site to see
whether Jerry is the guy you went to college with--you can even send
him an e-mail before the show is over.
Getting WebTV is easy. All you need is a WebTV® Internet
Terminal or a WebTV® Plus Receiver (available this fall) and a
monthly subscription to WebTV Network™ Service. WebTV
Networks, Inc., currently offers two levels of service: The WebTV
Network (which requires the WebTV Internet Terminal) and the
WebTV® Plus Network (which requires the WebTV Plus Receiver).
While WebTV clearly enhances your television with Internet access,
WebTV Plus gives you more choice and control over what you
watch, with features such as WebPIP, Web Home and TV
Crossover™ Links.
