WEBTV CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT
Ophiliasgrandma | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 08:36 am     I read a legal notice in this morning's paper. The web site address for more information and to get a claim form is: www.webtvsettlement.com |
Sadiesmom | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 10:55 am     I thought people who had it liked it. |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 12:03 pm     Thanks Opheliasmom, I just filled it out.Sadiesmom, I do like my web tv. It's convienant(sp) and cheaper, but with that said, I do have problems.I think it's more me than the web. It doesn't do what it promoted it could do. |
Zeno39 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 12:35 pm     You are right, Sawheel. Their promises of what the web could do were false. It doesn't do what they have been promoting. I think that is one reason it won't let me into chat, even though I follow all directions to get in. I also had a form filled out and sent it in. I hope they rectify this situation. |
Ryn | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 01:01 pm     here is an old article about the settlement (I was just making sure it was legit) http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/webtv.html |
Ryn | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 01:02 pm     btw - this only applies to "all persons who were WebTV subscribers or bought new set-top boxes at retail for connection to the WebTV service between October 26, 1996 and December 12, 2000 in the United States." |
Sawheel17 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 01:35 pm     I got mine in Jan.'99. It just automatically had isp as webtv.net. When it was cut off and turned back on it was MSN.I don't understand any of it, just go with the flow. |
Zeno39 | Sunday, February 02, 2003 - 02:17 pm     Sawheel, webtv sold out to MSN, even though they still call it webtv. I had to get a new ISP number, cause they were charging me every time I got on the web. What a ripoff!! My web was given to me by my daughters,and it was bought in that time frame, so I qualify. They sure did lie to us, didn't they? They should be sued! |

Cmore | Wednesday, February 05, 2003 - 09:05 pm     My father has had web tv for several years and he loves it. He has not turned his puter on since he bought it. He uses his own isp, chats, sends voice mail and pics. He says it is much easier for him to navigate than a puter. Its not practical for the things I do, but to each their own. |
