Also people had a tough time deciding of the many, many choices from where to get WebTV. There were just too many outlets to purchase the product from.



As recently as about 5 years ago these were the concerns people had with WebTV. But recently, there has been more out there to read up on WebTV. Now people you would be amazed at the fact that you can get as many as 3000 channels. These channels are the same channels that your local satellite and cable channels offer. Still, even though there is more to read on the topic, people were still skeptical. After all, we are talking about getting TV through your computer.

Now more and more people are going this route and are amazed at what they can get. There are premium channels such as HBO and USA network.
