Uploading images using WEBTV PLUS and the ranchoweb.com image uploading system

Here's some basic instructions for uploading pictures using WebTv Plus. This can only be done using the Plus model NOT the classic unit.
  1. You must have camcorder connected to the rear of your WebTv Plus unit using input/output audio/video cables.(Can also be hooked up going from camcorder to VCR to WebTv Plus unit)
  2. At the http://www.ranchoweb.com/up/ main page, Click on "FILES," then click on "UPLOAD FILES".
  3. At the next screen click on the picture of the camcorder. (This will make a screen pop up that resembles a TV screen)
  4. Turn on your power to your camcorder and point it at the item you would like to upload. (It will show up on your TV screen).
  5. When the picture looks good to you, click on the "Freeze" button at the bottom of the screen. (The picture will become a still shot)
  6. Click on the "Add picture" button on the top right of the screen.
  7. You will automatically go back one screen and will see a small picture of your image. Click on the "Upload" button directly below your picture.
  8. In a few seconds a new screen will show up and give you the "URL" for your image.
  9. This method only can be done with WEBTV PLUS units.

Many thanks to Jeff & Kitty Armstrong for preparing these instructions!
