About K. Lawrence Expertise I have expertise in making webtv email signatures as well as website design. I am patient and specific with "newbies" to the webber experience!
I am on a Sony Plus and am able to answer questions regarding the video capture and audio capture features of the plus.
Experience I have three websites. One is a very large collection of camel clipart and the other two are just fun sites where I have used some creativity to have a good time. I have gotten very good with html and table commands.

Question I have been given a supposedly working Magnavox MAT972A101 Web TV receiver. I would like to know if it is compatible with the current technology being used by MSN-TV customers. How do I test it? Do I have to sign up to the service to test it?
Answer As the webtv service is only a set top box and relies on an internet connection the only way to know if the box works is to sign up for the service.
There might be a way for MSNTV to ping the box but you would have to contact them to see.
If it is a working box it is compatable with the MSNTV service. I have an old Sony Plus that I use and I know people that have ten year old classics they still use.
