Welcome to WebTV!
| |
Hello, and welcome to WebTV! I just wanted to take a moment to welcome you to the WebTV® Plus Network. We were the first company to put the Internet on television, and this year we're continuing to improve that effort by using the Internet to enhance the TV-viewing experience. Here is some important information and a few tips to get you started. I urge you to visit Using WebTV, located on the Web Home page. It contains helpful items like our monthly newsletter, instructions on how to use WebTV's various features, and an introductory tour that I recommend. The tour provides clear explanations of Internet terminology and of WebTV's main features, including a few of the features that make TV viewing more enjoyable. To view it, choose Internet tour. One of the greatest things about the WebTV Plus receiver is that it keeps getting better the longer you own it. Since the Internet is constantly changing, WebTV offers periodic updates to keep your receiver current with the latest technologies. Occasionally, when you turn on WebTV, you'll be asked whether you want to update. All you need to do is choose the "update now" button, and it happens automatically. It's that easy. You should also know that we've programmed your WebTV Plus receiver to automatically call WebTV during the night to retrieve the next day's TV listings and any e-mail that might be waiting for you. The view button on your remote control takes you quickly back and forth between the TV features and the Web features of WebTV. You might have some Web sites you want to visit immediately. If you know the Web site address (for example, http://www.webtv.net), just push the OPTIONS button on the remote control, choose the GO TO button and type in the address. If you don't have a favorite site, here are a few of mine to help you get started:
Enjoy!
