There's a blast from the past! I worked for some years with Viewcall Canada, that had a very similar sort of service called BeyondTV. Same sort of box, more or less, and we did a bunch of work to basically import content from some providers to our NTSC-friendly interface. People could still get to the rest of what passed for the internet at the time, but they'd use our CGI-based email and menus for their starting point. I recall that we eventually got a WebTV in the office to play with as well; we'd been at things for a while, but I think the writing was on the wall when the competition was backed by the MS Borg.
