Internet Terminal defined
The Philips Magnavox Internet Terminal is a set-top box that coupled with Microsoft WebTV Network service is designed to solve the complexities and hassles consumers experience when getting on the Internet. The Internet Terminal is a no-compromise, high performance solution that provides easy to use, affordable Internet access wherever there is a television and a standard phone line.
WebTV Service defined
The Microsoft Web TV Network is a subscription based online service that provides an easy-to-use gateway to the Internet. It is a unique user interface that provides added value by packaging specially screened and selected content and special capabilities to address the information needs and interests of the consumer marketplace. All content is adjusted for viewing on a television and the graphics are enhanced for better viewing.
Every time the Philips Magnavox Internet Terminal connects to the Microsoft WebTV Network, it checks for software updates and automatically downloads them, keeping users current with the latest trends in Internet technology. This means that a Philips Magnavox Internet Terminal purchased in 1999 will still be up-to-date in the next century!
Ease of Use
No computer skills or special computer equipment are necessary to use the Internet Terminal. It ships complete with everything you need to get started-connecting cables and a standard remote control, which allows users to instantly browse the Internet or access email functions.
Even novices can attach the Internet Terminal to a TV and a standard phone line, register with the Microsoft WebTV Network Service and begin exploring the Internet. When a user clicks the power button on the included remote control, the Internet Terminal will automatically find a Network phone number, dial to the service, configure itself and connect to the Internet. The Philips Magnavox Internet Terminal eliminates the need for the user to dial-up and configure the unit, a process normally involved with other on-line services.
Unprecedented TV-like Experience
The most striking feature of the Philips Magnavox Internet Terminal is its ability to present Web pages with stunning clarity. Due to the TV Lens™ technology, content is extremely clear and readable. This technology eliminates interlace flicker and enhances the perceptual image quality.
Email
The Philips Magnavox Internet Terminal connects users to other email subscribers throughout the world, whether they are using WebTV Network Service or not! It supports up to six users per household. Each account can be protected by a password and has a personal Internet email address, favorites list and customized settings.
MessageWatch ™ technology periodically dials in to see if there is new email, regardless of whether the Internet terminal is activated and it lights a “message” LED on the front of the unit to notify the user when new mail is present.
Parental Control Feature
Parental control software is available for children’s accounts, helping to prevent access to inappropriate content, chat rooms and email from strangers.
