Question:

How do I set up and use Internet@TV?

Answer:

Internet@TV lets you use select Internet services, features, and functions on your TV through Yahoo! Widgets. For example, you can use the Yahoo! Weather Widget to display your local weather. Or, use a widget to display the photos in your Flickr account.

A widget is a graphical interface displayed on your TV screen that lets you access and view an Internet service. A widget does not operate like a web browser or give you access to an entire website, but instead gives you access to a selected group of functions and features from a website.

Opening Internet@TV

Before you can use Internet@TV, you must connect your TV to the Internet.

To open Internet@TV, press the Internet button on your remote or select Internet@TV in the apps menu. Alternatively, you can navigate to your TV settings menu.

The first time you open Internet@TV, you must accept the General Disclaimer terms to proceed. After you have accepted the terms, Internet@TV will update your TV. When the update is complete, your TV will display Internet@TV information.
