I doesn't work with ABC, CW, NBC, CBC, or any channel app. Youtube or Amazon Video don't work. It only works with Netflix, iTunes videos, and videos you can stream on the Safari app. FilmOnTv, YouPlayer, MediaPlayer, and Dailymotion work too, and so does VLC streamer.

No, but if you have an ios or android phone or tablet you could access on demand thru the xfinity tv app. The down side is having to watch it on the device instead of on tv.

The Google Chome Browser comes packaged as an app on this device. . . so I'm not sure what you are asking.In the app list there is an app for the DVD player so you can "jump" from Chrome to the player. You can even pin it to the task bar so it is readily accessible.The one thing that doesn't work with Google Chrome is hulu plus. They've never developed the app to work on Google Chrome. Even though there is an icon for it in the app list it won't work. Also the device allows you to browse the internet, but if you expect to go to ABC or NBC and play recent episodes - you're out of luck. They don't work on Google Chrome either.

the simple answer is No! XBMC is not even pre loaded you will have to go to the website and download it. Get yourself a MX2 midnight addition by Matricom (g box).I love it!

Yes, it has a built-in Google Chrome browser, and I've been able to access many sites I normally visit on my desktop computer. If you can access the site on your Chrome browser on your desktop, you should be able to access it on this television as well. Hope this helps!

You can watch television digitally, through the Windows Media Center, which gives you choices, which includes TV. I've never watched TV through that, so I haven't checked it out to see how it works.

I've only tried to access content via Amazon, Netflix or other streaming sites and not the internet. I don't think you can access websites unless you use the TV as just a monitor and hook it up to your computer.

Unfortunately you cannot. You can, however access YouTube, Netflix, Vudu and Hulu.

Yes but there is a hang up. Our current cable provider has encrypted network (NBC,CBS,ABC) and public broadcasting (PBS) this past week as per "FCC regulations". Our cable company has provided without charge, a QAM decoder ( Evoltion Digital DM82004UHD) that covers all stations they transmit (including cable stations). This renders the OTA input unnecessary as it provides both 480i standard broadcast and 1080i HD broadcast.

I cancelled my cable subscription but I'm still able to watch the free stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, and about 10 others). I use my Roku connected to my wireless router that is in turn connected to my internet provider. I now own two Roku boxes: one in the living room and one in the master bedroom.

Hi, On all of these TV boxes whether they are Android, Apple or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), there is an installed Plug in called XBMC where you can get most of the channels. Some of the channels are live channels. All you need is a good speed internet connection and all done. Cable, Satellite Dish or subscription to any service is not required.

Most tv shows can be found on the internet somewhere. This system gives you an internet browser and other apps that would for instance get you to www.TLC.com to watch an episode that is posted on the site. Thus, not requiring the TLC channel via paid cable service.

Yes. It has a menu button that you can select. Then, you need to click on the channel icon, scroll down to channel list and select this option. You will then be able to see all the channels you TV has available for viewing. I hope this answers your question.

It does connect to sites like Netflix Amazon etc. however it replaces your cable box for watching television shows. You will still need to subscribe to cable to get TV channels
