Abstract :
Internet-TV was designed and implemented for home users to access the Internet easily using a remote control unit. An original browser suitable for remote control and a lower-resolution TV screen than PCs (personal computers) was developed. In cooperation with a specific Internet provider, a simplified on-line sign-up was implemented to start accessing the Internet immediately
