Question My mom's eyesight is getting worse. She has a hard time viewing her WebTV on her small TV screen. I have a 'regulation' 19" computer monitor that I'm not using. Is WebTV compatible (and thus, viewable) on my monitor? Is an adaptor available from the monitor's 9-pin cable to the RCA/phone jacks that WebTV requires?
Answer Hi, as far as I know there is no adapter for hooking the webtv up to a monitor. I looked into it a few years back and there was nothing at that time. I spend most of my time on a computer now so I have not checked it out lately.
A few suggestions, and just off the top of my head, the first thing I would do is call 1-800-gowebtv and ask them. They should know.
You might present your question to a place like Radio Shack or a local computer store. The Webtv box should be able to be hooked up via a cable connection. I have mine hooked up with a cable out from the box to cable in on my TV. Maybe there is an adapter that would work.
I really doubt there is anything since the concept is to hook the box up to a TV.
But, good luck, maybe there is something, there should be...
