yes you can watch video on your computer. I put the mini sdhc disk in computer and double click on the video I want to watch. Don't know if you can look at owner manual I did not try

I have not tried this, but if a TV station or TV app streams live I don't see why you would not be able to watch it. Also, for archived stuff, there is a Hulu app, so that should work too.

I downloaded and installed the app and it seems to work. I'm not a Hulu Plus member, so I couldn't watch the videos, but the app loaded fine and lets me scroll through the videos. Hope this helps.

To those recommending youtube, even if you have fast internet, the streaming can get in the way of picture quality. I'd suggest downloading the clips on a computer to a USB and plugging that into the TV. That way you're seeing the video as it's intended and it is amazing.

I think this device will not help you like cable boxes or smart media/dvd player boxes. Unless you find an apps that will connect you to local programs. This device is very similar to a tablet that's missing a screen so you have to connect to a tv. Try looking for an app in google play for tv program player may help. You can subscribe to Hulu Plus, Netflix and such through device and never had any problem with streaming video.

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 selection of sites is: Netflix, YouTube, Picasa, Pandora, Vids: Apps, Vids: HD Movies, and Hulu Plus. Hope this helps!

Yes you can surf the web. My only gripe about it though is that it's generally pretty slow-going. Turning the t.v. into a 55" computer is pretty cool but just don't expect the same performance as your p.c. or laptop. Every now and then I'll miss an episode of a show I like and I'll watch it on the t.v. via the t.v. network's site instead of my laptop.

You have to watch it through the Internet Explorer . YouTube is not a download on their market .

No.. To watch videos of YouTube you need a fast internet and run the YouTube app on the Tv. Sony 4k media center is for purchases and rentals(both 4k & HD) direct from sony

Sorry, I've retired the device, and did not use Hulu. I bought the device mainly for You Tube. I use the Google Chromecast now which currently only supports You Tube and Netflix

Absolutely not. You need a special app to access the internet. It used to have YouTube but no longer. Honestly I would get a different brand. I'm considering giving it away to one of my kids.

Yes, as long as you have wireless internet in your house, the package comes with the wireless adapter that gives access to Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, etc.Hope this helps!

Google TV just offers an interface similar to Android. You can browse the internet (via Chrome, of course), download apps, and hopefully a lot more with each successive update. The app store is still fairly limited (especially 'free' apps), but there are definitely some nice ones out there if you're willing to pay. Also, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you can easily stream the 'rented' videos right on your TV (depending on your internet connection, as I noticed a fairly considerable drop in quality when streaming on the TV compared to streaming on my laptop and connecting via HDMI. YMMV). Some other nice benefits are being able to 'fling' webpages between your computer and TV, so you can do the browsing on the laptop and just fling to the TV when you found what you're looking for. You can also download the chromemote (sp) and use your laptop as a remote control for the TV. Overall I wouldn't break the bank to pay for Google TV, but it's a very nice addition if the prices/specs are comparable otherwise.

You can use your books but I don't think you can use the videos. I have amazon prime and was not able to view the videos for streaming.

Also both AppleTV and WiFi capable DVD players I have seen allow you to watch YouTube....
