The product and service were developed by America Online. While most thin clients developed in the mid-1990s were positioned as diskless workstations for corporate intranets, AOL TV was positioned as a consumer device for web access. Since the device was a dedicated web browser appliance, the cost of licensing a proprietary operating system could be avoided. For inexpensive devices, the cost of licensing a proprietary operating system is substantial. The set top box for AOL TV was developed by NCI/Liberate using a thin client and manufactured by Philips.[1][2][3] AOL TV discontinued sales in November 2002, although the service was available for existing subscribers for a time.[4] The service is no longer supported by AOL and the documentation has been removed from their servers.
