Digital camera reviews of RCA RM2100 MSNTV Internet Receiver
Digital camera Review: Good But Could Be A Little Better!.
Summary: 3 Stars
We originally had one of the old Plus receivers and I loved it and that I could watch TV while online but it broke and I found out that they weren't making them anymore so I had to buy this classic receiver and while I do enjoy using it I can't help feeling that I downgraded. Another thing I don't care for with this basic classic receiver is the power cord, it's an adapter that you plug in an outlet or surge protector which is fine but the end that goes into the MSN TV is like a tiny earphone jack on a portatble walkman tape player and the adapter gets hot and makes a loud buzzing or humming noise if the MSN TV receiver is on for over an hour or more and I much preferred the sturdier power cord for the Plus receiver. Please someone start making the plus receivers again, I liked the plus receiver so much that I didn't mind that the monthy fee for the plus service was a little bit more than the classic service. I do like the MSNTV service though and I like that they let you have six email screen names which makes it great for members of a family to have their own email addresses. I know that 6 seperate email addresses is alot but honesly I wish that they would add more. It would be great to have at least 10 but realisticly I would be fine with just 8.Digital camera Review: Good!

We have computers and I know how to use them and I also have an MSN TV Internet receiver and even though we aren't doing it right now you can combine your MSN service on both your computer and MSN TV. I enjoy using the MSN TV and I actually prefer using this instead of our fritzy lap top computer. We originally had the old Web TV Plus Internet receiver and I loved using it but it was zapped by lightening and it burned out the modem and unfortunately they aren't being made anymore so I had to buy this classic model and though I still prefer the advantages of the plus receiver with getting TV updates I also like this classic receiver.Digital camera Review: Great Inexpensive Way To Access the Internet
Summary: 4 Stars
This is great for accessing internet, exchanging email, pictures. Doesn't do everything that a computer will do, But I highly recommend it for anyone that just wants to exchange email or access the internet. Easy to use.Digital camera Review: Great set-top computer!..or is it?

If your wanting to surf the internet without the hassle of a PC, then this is the device for you.I have been a msntv owner for 4 years and the RM2100 is a great way to explore the web.The machine itself is very reliable, sometimes msn has it's slow moments but don't most servers at one time or another.Plus you can't get any of the viruses that PC's get. You can surf with peace of mind.You will never need spyware with msntv. And, no one can ever hack a msntv account..very important these days.Once you get the RM2100 out of the box, you are only minutes away from years of enjoyment.It also only takes about 30 seconds to log on to msn and one botton to get off line.In fact...I have 2 LBB (little black boxes)...one is the PM 965, and now the RM2100, so I have a back up just in case.If you want to surf the net, this is for you. If you want more bells and whistles (and headaches) then save your $$$ for a PC./update/ It's been a while since I wrote this and I have now decided NOT to recommend msntv or the failed msntv2. It's getting where a msntv user can't get into any good websites! You can look but you can't touch. And it's getting worse, their outdated browser is a joke. So...I have bought a new Dell laptop and with it I can open all the doors that are shut with the msntv service *laughs*Good bye msn and msntv.*waves*Digital camera Review: Just like the 1 Stars
Do you remember the Yugo? It was the cheapest car that you could buy in America, and it was proof that you got what you paid for. This is the same with MSNTV. There really isn't very much wrong with hardware. It does what it was designed to do. The problem is that the software does not permit it to do very much.WebTV came on to the market back in 1996 and I had the service for several years. More recently the product has been re-branded as MSN TV. The only thing that has changed is the name on the box. The technology, I am sad to say, is virtually obsolete.
Look at it this way: if you enjoy watching television on a 5 in. black-and-white TV with poor reception, you'll love MSN TV.
With generosity, I give the service one star.
