Service Name: Favorites

Description: Favorites service. Let's the user bookmark sites, organize them into folders, and assign a shortcut key on up to 7 favorites.

Availability by Unit: All

Notes: Depending on the manufacturer of the box you're using to connect with, you may or may not get favorites pre-configured onto your account. What these favorites are, we assume to be determined by the WebTV/MSN TV network and how the device identifies itself. This is currently all speculation though. We have no idea how things were actually handled.
