Your MSN TV service plan is your
monthly subscription to MSN TV.
It includes access to the Internet,
e-mail, and all of the other features
of MSN TV.
You’ll choose a service plan during registration. The service
plan you choose is based on whether you’re connecting
to MSN TV using a phone line or a Broadband connection
and what Internet service provider (ISP) you use.
If you connect to MSN TV using a phone line, you will
likely use MSN TV as your ISP (the most common option).
If you already have a computer at home connected to the
Internet, you might choose to use your own ISP to connect
to the MSN TV service.
If you connect to MSN TV using an existing Broadband
connection, you will use your Broadband ISP as your
service provider.
You’ll learn more about MSN TV’s service plans during
registration.
To begin registration, follow the instructions on the
Welcome screen you see on your TV.

Now that you’ve set up your Internet
player and can see the Welcome
to MSN TV screen, you’re ready to
register for the MSN TV service.
When you register, you’ll create an e-mail name and
password. If you already have an existing MSN or Hotmail
e-mail address, you can use that on MSN TV. Your e-mail
name and password will become the account you’ll use
on your MSN TV 2 Internet player. You’ll also choose a
service plan and a billing method.
Once you create an account on MSN TV, you’ll be able
to access your e-mail on any computer connected to the
Internet, as well as on your Internet player.
Throughout registration, follow the instructions on
your screen.
During registration, we’ll ask for some specific information.
All of this information will be electronically encoded and
encrypted to help ensure your security and confidentiality.
MSN TV will only use this information to create your
account and to bill you for your service plan. This infor-
mation will include:
•
Your name
•
Your address
•
Your phone number
•
A valid credit or debit card
