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.
