Yes you absolutely can (as long as you have internet connection- Wi-Fi or LAN). It is made to give your TV "smart tv" features. Picture it as your TV being converted into a tablet. You can check mail, all social media sites (FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc), stream movies and music or just browse and search. It has Google Chrome pre-loaded on it.

Yes, absolutely. I have personally done this for exactly the reason/need you are in streaming Chromecast. And, there are many other excellent features this device performs (e.g. re-broadcasting wifi signal as a repeater for further wifi coverage.). An excellent investment!

Yes you can visit YouTube and Netflix and other streaming sites. It also Opera installed which can be used to browse the net. However I don't know about the keyboard as I haven't installed one. But this is a great tv.

If you're hoping to wirelessly stream videos to your tv, then the answer would be no. If you can plug your phone or tablet into the tv with an hdmi, then yes. A maybe would be with a USB. There is a usb input on the tv for videos and pictures, but it only allows certain formats.

Not clear on your question, but the TV supports Netflix, Hulu, etc streaming content (i.e., it's not directly usable to web surf, if that was your query).

You can, If you buy the addon device to watch TV. Out of the box, though, you can't

Yes. I do not use the streaming. It's more about gaming quality and speed. Try to think of the device as a console rather then just another android tablet.

Don't need internet connection to watch live TV. Don't know about android tablet (would depend on having correct drivers available). Don't *have* to download anything before use, but it's always good to check the company web site (in their support section) for any software updates for the device.

No this if for watching certain video services on your TV. You can watch things like Netflix, Amazon, Redbox Instant, HBO Go, etc on your TV. There are also other apps so you can play music, browse the web, etc on your TV.

I use this device with playon.tv and I can stream Hulu just fine. Apps work fine but browsing is sluggish as reported.
