WebTV is, at this point, a dinosaur, and I agree that it will go away,
sooner rather than later. So long as you're willing to tolerate the
painful slowness of dial-up that most of us who have used something better
cannot, that will have to be your answer. I also think that your fears
about DSL noise and AM are as close to groundless as can be - even given
that there's probably nothing on your property that isn't grounded
already....

I don't see this happening, Pat. What is more likely is
for WebTV to turn off since there are really very few using
it today. Believe me when I say this. I will turn off cable
TV or satellite radio before I cut off the internet. Most
people are like me on that one. I can watch TV over the
internet and listen to radio everywhere via the net.
You really do need to consider a computer and your own
access. You will be amazed at what's out there and you
can hear just about every station all over the place crystal
clear and in stereo.
DX is fun but when we croak, gork, kick off, toast, lose
the voltage or give up the ghost, for the most part, DX is
an archaic footnote in history. Don't get me wrong, I
love to DX, its just coming to an end as a hobby. Kids are
not interested at all. They are interested in all the games
on the computer and a little in streaming audio and video
and a lot in an iPod and thats about it.
