Second generation Web TV. Microsoft hardware includes hard drive................. WebTV Unveils Second-Generation Service Received: September 17, 1997 06:23am EDT From: Inter@ctive Week From Inter@ctive Week Online for September 16, 1997 by Steven Vonder Haar WebTV Networks Inc. today will roll out a second generation of its television-based Internet access service that allows users to view television programming and the Web at the same time. The Microsoft Corp. subsidiary said it will offer a system dubbed Web TV Plus that integrates a cable-ready TV tuner and a 1.1 gigabyte hard drive into its set-top box, providing Internet access via the television. The equipment, priced at less than $300 and slated to be available in the fall, offers a picture-in-picture display of the Web and TV programming even on standard television sets. The product introduction marks Microsoft's latest bid at building a business in the interactive television field. In theory, programmers will be able to publish Web sites designed to augment their television shows and to be viewed simultaneously on the WebTV system. In addition, Microsoft could download video programming for later viewing, possibly cutting broadcasters and cable network operators out of revenue that could someday be generated by interactive television services. WebTV also said it will price its standard Web TV system, which provides only Internet access, at less than $200 with a $100 rebate. Users must pay monthly fees of $19.95 for unlimited access to the WebTV network. WebTV can be reached at webtv.net Copyright c 1997 Inter@ctive Week. All rights reserved.
