In some cases, this URL will also display a user selection screen. Need more documentation on this | GET | Yes | |

| wtv-head-waiter:/ValidateLoginName?user-id=NNNNNNNNN | Appears to be POSTed to when selecting a user account on "login-stage-two", and either shows a password screen or the splash screen. It is assumed this service is also where the server sends the information the client will need while connected to the WebTV/MSN TV service, such as the service list and what username it'll log in as. Need more documentation on this |
POST | Yes | http://turdinc.kicks-ass.net/Msntv/images/dailyWV.jpg; This or login-stage-two might be responsible for serving the wtv-service list, but as of writing this is unconfirmed |
| wtv-head-waiter:/ValidateLoginName?user-id=NNNNNNNNN&target-url=&switching-user= | Same "ValidateLoginName" URL but with different parameters.

Need more documentation on this | POST | Yes | Also need to figure out "wtv-tod", which might be a timestamp since the value in the sample URL when converted represents a date of Oct. 2000 (also, "wtv-tod". WTV today?) |
| wtv-head-waiter:/ValidateLogin?user-id=NNNNNNNNN | The WebTV/MSN TV box appears to send its credentials (user ID, password etc.) to this URL if a password had to be specified before logging in. This possibly is meant to display the splash screen on successful login too. It is assumed this service is also where the server sends the WebTV/MSN TV box the wtv-service list and the other information it'll need to use when connected to WebTV/MSN TV. Need more documentation on this | POST | Yes | This or "login-stage-two" might be responsible for serving the wtv-service list, but as of writing this is unconfirmed |
| wtv-head-waiter:/ValidateLogin?user-id=NNNNNNNNN&password=xxxxxx | Same "ValidateLogin" URL but with different parameters. Need more documentation on this | POST | Yes | This or "login-stage-two" might be responsible for serving the service list, but as of writing this is unconfirmed |

| wtv-head-waiter:/check-tellyscript?next-url=wtv-home:/home&dummy=0x3526d | The splash screen on whatever URL it's on has a meta refresh pointing to this URL shortly after displaying. Don't know what this URL accomplishes other than redirecting the user to "wtv-home:/home". Need more documentation on this | GET | No | What does the "dummy" value do aside from simply being there? |
| wtv-head-waiter:/new-ticket?URL= | Used to request new wtv-tickets. This also reinitiates the WebTV/MSN TV challenge/response process.
