Redmond, Wash. -- Microsoft has introduced a new version of MSN TV, its broadband service and device that allows users to surf the Internet, send email, and access digital photos, Web video and audio files from their televisions. The MSN TV 2 Internet & Media Player, manufactured by Thomson under its RCA brand, will ship to retailers in mid-October with a $199 price tag, plus a $9.95 monthly subscription service fee. The service includes access to 200 commercial-free radio stations, hundreds of daily video clips from MSN Video, a primary MSN email account with 2GB of storage, and 10 secondary email accounts. Content on another home PC may also be accessed on a TV through MSN TV 2 over a wired or wireless home network.
