Microsoft is discounting its MSN TV 2 set-top box--and adding several new features.
The company announced on Tuesday that it's offering a $100 rebate that effectively halves the cost of the set-top box, which allows users to send and receive e-mail, browse the Web and access information from a PC located elsewhere in the home. The rebate runs through Jan. 31.
Previous Next Microsoft debuted the MSN TV 2 box, which is the successor to Web TV, last September. Like its predecessor, MSN TV 2 allows for reading e-mail and viewing the Web using a TV as a monitor. However, in its latest incarnation, the set-top box added the ability to fetch music and photos stored on another PC, as well as under-the-hood changes such as the inclusion of the Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser engine and Windows CE as the device's operating system.
