Introducing the Teknema Internet TV Set-Top Box 1

1. Introducing the Teknema Internet TV Set-Top Box.

The TeknemaInternet TVSet-Top Box converts your televisionset into a complete and

stand-alone Internet access device.

By connecting it through a regular telephone line to an Internet Service Provider with its built-in

modem, the Internet TV Set-Top Box allows you to navigate the Word Wide Web (WWW or Web)

and manage your Electronic Mail, the two most useful and entertaining services offered by the

Internet today.

The Web navigation is performed by the Internet TVWeb Browser, a simple point and click

graphical interface. All its functions are controlled with the supplied infrared remote control, or

with on-screen buttons.

The Email functions allow you to manage up to four different electronic mail accounts, each one

independent from the others, and to perform basic functions such as writing a new message,

replying to an incoming mail, and storing your messages.

A third-partyInternet Service Provider(ISP) provides you with an Internet account and Email

address(es), a local phone numberfor dial-up access and the services required to communicate

over the Internet. The provider usually charges a flat monthly rate for this service.

This manual will not teach you what the Internet is or how to maximize your fun and profit from

using it: there is plenty of excellent literature available on the topic, but your direct and hands-on

experience on the Internet will be the most valuable training. This manual will only cover the

Internet TV Set-Top Box functions, and how to easily get online with it. If you have the optional

infrared keyboard, its use is covered in the Reference section.

Please note:In this manual, the word “key” refers to one of the push buttons located on the

Infrared Remote Control, e.g., the Go To key. The term "button" refers to a selection button of

the on-screen user interface, e.g., the Go To button on the Web Browser menu bar.

special adapter before you can connect the Set-Top Box to your televisionset. Because of

variations in signal strength, not all adapters will work with all televisions.

TV, you can purchase a game adapter and connect through the Video of your Internet TV Set-
