Does this have a full web browser so I can stream local news channels like Kiro 7 Live and Komo News 4 Live from their websites?

This is an android computer, and as such candidates stream or play anything an android Phone or tablet can. You would need to check specific sites or if they have an app you can download it from google play store, your other option would be to see if they have or are in a xbmc add-on.

Are you familiar with Android? If you are - than you should know that you have a choice of browsers, t.e. Opera, Chrome, Dolphin, etc. In order to " stream" any of the listed above browsers will need an extension, which after you install will give you an opportunity to "stream" . Be aware of any possible virus that you might pick-up by live streaming.

so far it seems to have full access but certain things cant be done ( like watching tv on a channels website, cbs for example). Nickjr just crashed but raz-kids seemed to work. You can also download apps which I'm sure there has to be one for nickjr

I don't know. I think it works with any browser when it comes to watching the feed from any mobile or computer. I know the software that comes with it works with any OS because all it does is convert the files over to AVI files.

No. It has Netflix and YouTube built in but if there is a way to support streaming from other Internet providers, I could not find it, and I did look. It does have DNLA to support streaming from other devices on your home network, but that doesn't help with streaming from Internet providers.

Since you said "through Chrome" i assume you mean recorded shows on websites. In that case, yes. It has a full version of flash installed so you can watch pretty much anything that you would be able to watch on your pc on the costar.

As far as I know, the Roku SD cannot just surf the internet (at least mine can't). It can only stream channels from the Roku channel store.

No Web browser, but it does provide apps you can download, provided by Yahoo, so if you have a Netflix or hulu account you can access thru your tv

Robert; There's no adhoc browser if that's what you are referring to just the standard VISIO apps, netflix, amazon, hulu, yahoo weather/sports etc. There is an ability to setup a profile so the yahoo app knows what your local weather is, etc. I have it setup with wifi so the internet apps are a bit sluggish. I haven't had any issues with this VISIO, pretty nice unit for the price.

The only apps available are preloaded by JVC. They are Netflix,Pandora (music only) and Vudu these are the only sites which can be streamed via the internet. There is NOT a browser on this model JVC, therefore the only internet access is by the 3 preloaded apps. You cannot add additional sites that will give you other streaming content. NO BROWSER. You will need to add a Roku or BluRay... some similar device that provides access via WI-Fi or ethernet. The TV itself has WI-fi and Ethernet access for Netflix. Pandora and Vudu but without a browser present, you are stuck with those only. Sorry... the set is great and I have fought that battle with JVC. I was told that they were going to add some other apps, but not a browser... that was over a year ago with no luck. I hate to say this but their "Marketing Hype" in the literature is very mis-leading.

Roku: I need a browser for content that is NOT in your channel lineup. (NBCSPORTS comes to mind). It isn't to surf the web, per se, but do you imagine that you provide every channel that's available?

Nope. Unless you stream using their IE compatible website, or on a iOS or Android device, one stream/camera at a time

you don't need the internet to run the box by itself. As far as I know the Rubio built in guide will work with out the internet. however, if you need to update software for either Rubio or channel master you will need the internet.

The unit DOES have internet radio, I believe it is V-tuner, with thousands of free internet stations. I use it.

Yes. The program you get from their website (free,) has a built in broadcast module. Just set it up, start playing and broadcasting in one go.

Yes, but only with sites that don't use flash. You can, however, dude load alternate browsers like opera and also side load old flash for android to accomplish this, but performance isn't great. Stick to things that can stream in an app like Netflix for best performance. Browser streaming just isn't that great. Remember it basically operates like your android phone.
