MSN TV

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.12 sec.

The first Internet TV service that obtained widespread distribution of its set-top boxes in the retail channel. Developed in 1996 by WebTV and acquired by Microsoft in 1997, it originally used only an analog modem and telephone line to deliver the Web and e-mail to the TV set. In 2004, MSN TV 2 debuted for high-speed Internet users and provides audio and video streaming from the users's PC or the Internet to the TV. For information, visit www.msntv.com. See Internet TV and AOLTV.
