Philips AOLTV

 

Hooking up the various cables between the set-top box and the TV, VCR, and cable boxes was pretty simple, thanks to a graphically clear instruction book. However, the included 6-foot phone cord that connects the box's 56kbps modem to the wall was too...

Send e-mail or chat online while watching TV; convenient TV program guide; easy VCR programming interface.

Expensive monthly service charges; makes for sluggish and confusing channel surfing; interminable setup process.

This set-top box ruins the TV-watching experience and adds only rudimentary Internet functions.

This product is great for anyone who drove a Model T! I can only image what it was like to have to crank up the car while standing in mud and rain, then have to run and get in before it stopped. Better yet have to throw your foot out onto the ground...

I bought this for my mother. It isn't very simple for a non-computer person to use and understand. Connecting it to an "average" t.v. gives a yucky picture, as far as the clarity of trying to read the text. It is considerably slower then a...

So far this machine has done nothing but FREEZE up and needed to be RESET every day of it's poor life. It's going back to the store. I hestitate to buy webTV too, but this may be an AO-Hell problem, so, for my non-computer father's sake, I'll try it.

I thought twice about purchasing this item, due to the negative feedback on Amazon and other sites. However with a 30 day money back warranty and free aol service for a month I decided to give it a shot. I am very happy with the results, it does take a...
