Please note that although we guarantee that these keyboards will work perfectly on your WebTV or MSN TV unit or we'll replace them we by no means guarantee that they'll operate your TV set 100%. We have found that they do work perfectly on about 999 TV sets out of 1000 so there's a very good chance that they will run your TV set.
That having been said, it must be added that most people buy our keyboards to run their units and have other more suitable devises to run their TV set.
Note: Your television must have infrared (IR) remote control receiving capability in order to be used with the wireless keyboard.
