Home Page

  • http://msntv.msn.com/pages/home/home.aspx - MSN TV home page. Two versions of this home page were offered under this URL - a version optimized for dial-up (looks like the home pages shown in promotional pictures) and a version for broadband, which got revamped around 2005. The kind of page that would be sent to the box would depend on either a WANProvider query parameter included in the URL when UserCheck sends the service list, or from cookies(?). While missing image assets for the dial up home page have been recovered, no trace of any HTML belonging to the broadband home pages have been found as of writing.
    • Optional Parameters: WANProvider={WANProvider} - Tells the home page how the user is connected to the MSN TV 2 service, likely used to determine what kind of home page to give to the box. Values include "MSNIANB" (connected through MSN Dial-up), "BYOAEN" (Broadband), and "BYOANB" (using another dial-up ISP).
