On a windows laptop, do you need any special app to watch TV, or is it just your browser?

no, you have to get one to match your computer. I'd recommend picking one up. (used mine tonight to watch the Olympics, mute the commercials...)

Hi, I may be able to help you with remote viewing. Some apps seem to be more compatible than others. What kind of device and what operating system do you intend to use ?

Yes - you can pretty much view any modern laptop on any modern TV. You just need the correct cable. It will depend on your graphics card. The TV has VGA and HDMI inputs, so you'll most likely need something like a VGA cable, HDMI cable, or DVI to HDMI cable. Just plug it into your TV and laptop, set the tv to the correct input, and set your laptop display for 2 monitors and you are good to go.

Yep, it will allow you to watch your movies on your laptop with some exceptions. It doesn't have the codecs to allow you to watch amazon downloaded codecs for example. However, if it is just a straight avi or mp4, it will allow you to stream from your shared file folders or windows libraries.

you can browse from the tv but it is a little clumsy compared to a laptop computer. I plugged in a Logitech K400 and K700 keyboard into the USB ports on the side and they work pretty good with a few quirks.

I may have misunderstood your question. You do have to have your computer setup to output to your TV in order to watch on your TV but there are 2 tuners so you can record on one and watch Live TV on the other. All recording is done on your computer and you must have Window Media Center installed on your computer.

No, this TV has only certain apps from Yahoo. The is no Web Browser at all at this time.

The Unit requires the provided software and thus probably excludes it from the TV. One alternative is to install the s/w on a laptop (as I did) and then hook to your television using an HDMI or Serial port. Also, the unit comes with a USB plug and thus the Television would have to receive it. some TV's do and some don't, but the software is a requirement. It would be nice to be a plug and play but no dice. Otherwise, the unit is fun for the price. We use ours about once a quarter to explore stuff. The kids get a kick out of seeing things blown up. Hope this helps.

You do not buy a Television (Display) to emulate a PC, of course you do not have a web browser on a VISIO M701d-A3R. It is a Smart TV that has wireless and wired access to an Internet Modem/Router that has Gigabit speeds for streaming Video content that is accessed via Apps that each manufacturer determines by agreements with Internet providers. Visio has included the most popular Apps that users want and some others that access things like a weather channel, shopping, music access like Pandora. Before you buy any Smart TV you have to do research for each manufacturer to know the variety of Apps that they have agreements to enable them building (Programming) the APP that connects their product to the APP's server, every common APP (ie; Netflix) is customized for the electronic functionality of the device that you purchased. If you want an Internet browser just connect your IPAD, Desktop, Laptop to the appropriate VISIO input and have a go at doing your browsing, email and your streaming in one location.

It's an android pc, and you can watch programs via Netflix, Hulu, or via your browser. All you need to watch video is a wireless high speed connection, and a monitor or TV with a HDMI interface. This is not live television, there is no TV tuner built into this device.

The viewing and control is through a web browser so it shouldn't matter what platform you are using. I try it on firefox/IE on windows and it works just fine.

I have mines hooked up to my lap top and I can hook the laptop to the TV monitor and see it like that. You can't hook it up directly to your TV be a use it has to be connected to wifi

? must we have only the software and a connector, or do we NEED a TV tuner for this process?

Yes, all you need is a HDMI or VGA cable if your TV has a VGA port and your computer should recognize the screen, I would use HDMI cable though.

anything you have on your computer can be watched on this... basically if you can see it on your computer screen it will show up on the television if you're using this.
