Hi T_Wake, If you use a cable connection with your MSN TV box,
you have to pay for a cable modem, cable installation,
and the cable company's ISP ( which goes unused ).

Is this what you meant by "Any internet connection can be used, any
monitor."

"Any internet connection can be used but you have to pay extra" doesnt have
the same ring to it.

That bill alone is 60 dollars a month, not counting setup costs.
You have to pay for an MSN TV subscription on top of that.
Quoting from " www.WebTV.COM/pc/get/broadband_service.asp "

Broadband Service with your ISP *
9.95 dollars / month, ISP fees not included.

So, ignoring the setup costs,
MSN TV subscribers pay an extra 120 dollars per year.

I have two issues with your conclusion here. First and most trivial, the
annual costs are $99.95, so you should pay more attention to the sites you
quote.

More importantly, they do not pay even that "extra" over a PC owner.
Remember, in the real world people have to pay for their internet
connections. Not many people are as socially irresponsible as you.

Your claim that a Mac costs "more" than a PC (msgid:
news:Jeff_Relf_2007_Feb_15_11_@xxxxxxxxx) falls down here. You were implying
the "simplicity" and lack of hardware choices meant buying the system cost
more. Now you have some convoluted line of logic which tries to change that
to meaning the broadband connection costs more.

Poor Jeff. You started from an incorrect position and continued to argue it.
Shame on you.
