Digital camera reviews of RCA/MSN TV 2 Internet and Media Player
Digital camera Review: Misleading info given on MSNTV2
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this item for my homebound uncle to play games on the internet. I called the 800 number and spoke to a representive and he assured me that pogo.com was an option and capatable with this product. IT IS NOT. You have to have a JAVA to play these games.
The game sites that allow you to play are not very person oriented. All we found only allowed him to play by himself. Well a Playstation 2 worked just as well and cheaper since not have to pay the MSN fee every month.
Wish I had never purchased this product. My uncle used it 1 week and was ok for him to surf net but not play games which was why we wanted it. Would not have been upset if company rep not told me was ok with pogo and slingo.com Lost all respect for MSN.
Digital camera Review: Much Better Than the Old System!
Summary: 4 Stars
I upgraded to the MSNTV Player recently because I neeed to access certain websites that the old Webtv receiver couldn't do.I wasn't disappointed when I hooked the new system up.Navigating most websites is much more easier & it doesn't take a eternity to load.I was hesitant to purchase this unit at first,but now it was well worth it.Digital camera Review: My "Fall-Back" living room "PC".
Summary: 5 Stars
Once I finally got the player up and running, (and it took awhile), it went from 3 stars to 5 stars. The process of setting it up, can be a problem, if your stubborn, and semi-computer literate as I am. I did not want to use the "Dial-up" option, because I had an existing home-network with broadband inter-net connection already set-up, besides broadband is so much faster,etc. so I "barged" ahead. Now...they tell you to only pick from the list of recommended Adapters, AND THEY ARE RIGHT!! If the player does not recognize the device (adapter, printer, etc.) the system WONT work. After I finally picked a listed adaper, the machine accepted it. Then it was only a matter of compatibility with my existing network devices (Router plus Access Point-if needed) and I was off and running. LIFT-OFF!!! Its GREAT! The problems I had were self-imposed. Just be patient, it WILL work.Digital camera Review: NO PICTURE IN PICTURE

I JUST GOT MY MSNTV2 RECEIVER NO PIP FUNCTION WHY DO YOU HAVE A PRODUCT FOR TV WHEN YOU CAN NOT WATCH TV. NO ZIP FILES. LOST ALL MY SCRAPBOOK PROFILES I SPENT YEARS WORKING ON.

SO I HAVE BROADBAND ACCESS WITH NO FEATRES ITS USELESS
THE VIDEO FILES ARE WAY LIMITED AND THE RADIO SUCKS IT ONLY PLAYS HALF THE TIME WHEN YOU ARE SURFING THE WEB I KEEP HITING THAT DAMN OK BUTTON WHERE THE PAGE UP WAS
BUY A COMUTER AND THROW THIS BACK TO GATES OH BY THE WAY I GOT $5000 BY SUING MICOSOFT FOR FALSE ADVERTISING ON THE OLD WEBTV UNIT SO I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT
Digital camera Review: NOT A GOOD CHANGE!
Summary: 1 Stars
They stated the new MNS TV 2 would work faster
and that one would be able to do more with it
than the Web TV Classic; however, it does much
less than Web TV.
I never had any problem at all with the Web TV
and never had to phone for help or thing going
wrong with it; however, with the new MSN TV 2
things are going wrong constantly and I have
to call. When one calls you have too wait
a really long time before you can even speak
to someone. Then they do not seem to understand what one is trying to tell them
what is wrong with it.
STAY WITH YOUR WEB TV. YOU WILL BE HAPPIER!!
