It is assumed this service is also where the server sends the WebTV/MSN TV box 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 today?) |

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 what username it'll log in as. 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:/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.
