Email
Keep in touch with friends and family through email. Send and receive
messages with anyone on the Internet. A personal address book keeps email addresses handy, and a spellchecker keeps spelling errors out of your
messages.
Six Private Email accounts
With WebTV Classic, you can have up to six email accounts. This means that
everyone in your home can have his or her own email address.
Chat
With WebTV Classic you can chat about everything and anything that interests
you- stocks, stamp collecting, yoga, sports - right from your sofa.
Explore
the Internet
With WebTV Classic you can explore the Internet right from your television.
Plan vacations, check your stocks, and find information about your hobbies
using just a remote control. WebTV Classic even helps you search the
Internet by keyword or category to find Web sites you are looking for.
WebTV
Centers
WebTV Centers bring you up-to-the minute information on News, Money, Sports,
Entertainment, Shopping, and more. The Centers gather information about a
topic and also direct you to popular Web sites related to the topic. WebTV
Centers become your personal guide to important information to you.
Page Builder
Have you ever wanted to have your own Web site where you can post photos for
your friends and family to see, or share your hobbies with the world? Now
you can build your own Web site with WebTV Classic - Page Builder is the
easiest way to build and publish your own personal Web pages.
For the Kids
For kids and parents, every WebTV service subscription includes Surfwatch®,
which keeps kids from accessing mature Web site content. There is also Kid
Friendly™, a fun and educational area built just for kids.
