Why Web TV?
 
It finally happened. A friend of the family got full-access web TV and now I'm concerned about how my pages appear.
If you want some idea of the web TV browser's effect on font sizes and links have a look this 44K screenshot of an old chipwork.com homepage, then you might want to download a free WebTV Viewer to test your own pages on.
    There isn't much difference from typical web page construction except:
  • HTML is limited to version 3
  • Less room for text because font sizes get increased.
  • No right-scrolling.

My personal opinion? Having experienced only limited access UK WebTV, I have to say it's a giant leap sideways into the unknown. I'll probably never actually use it but I appreciate that eventually millions will use it as their primary method of net access.
