What exactly can I do with it? Control Roku?, GoogleTV?, Nexus7 (2012?, Work with laptop/desktop?

Most computers will be able to work with it. Also I checked it on play station 3. It didn't work with my Samsung TV.It's a remote keyboard and mousepad so useful if any of those devices connected to your tv and out of direct reach.

I am currently using it with a desktop. If the device supports a keyboard has a USB slot and will install the device driver, it should work with it.

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!

I don't know exactly what you mean by that, what I can tell you is that this is a full Android Device, and I can say it's a good device to turn a Normal TV to a Smart TV. Essentially it can run any video at 1080 and stream perfectly Netflix or other similar vendors, I even used Plex and it works fine.

How do you stream from the PC to the Roku? I have the XR box and would like to know how to do this.

How about a Tivo premiere? seems to bring pretty much the same functionalities as google TV and boxee box?

This is an old TV, so it's not a "smart" TV. You'll need a 3rd party device (ie: Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, etc) in order to run any app like Amazon Video, Netflix, etc.

Hi, Your TV has to have the Google TV capability. if you can play google TV this is your remote control. Sincerely, Oscar

I think a remote for a Digital Stream converter box (e. g. ATSC -> NTSC) might work. I've seen such work at my home.

Golfreak - Yes you can, however it's not exactly straight forward. This device connects your laptop to your television. So using your laptop & a service like Netflix or Hulu you can stream TV shows & watch them on your television. A more straight forward device would be the Roku XS or similar. With a device like the Roku you simply connect it to your TV and use an onscreen interface to select a service to watch TV shows. Note that the availability of shows differs by the provider; some services are free (Crackle) and some are not (Netflix, Hulu+ etc). I hope this helps!

Yes you can, we actually connected our desktop up to it permanently for streaming videos from Netflix and Amazon Prime. We also stream from network tv websites and the NFL. We initially used a laptop or our kids Playstation to stream stuff, all worked great. Keep in mind streaming is dependent on your internet speed as far as quality is concerned. If you get a lot of buffering/stalling while streaming blame your internet connection, not the TV. I hope that helps. By the way, I've had the TV for almost a year now and still recommend it.

unless it has new native software updates within it, it is plugged into a usb connector and functions through the computer imaging software system. Newer "smart tvs" may have some ability to interface with graphics transfer. I believe you still need a computer at this time. Ours works with a laptop.

To elaborate on Ghavrals post, you can use it as a limited use PC, but its much better suited for set top box use. There are some fine folks over on an Android tab based site called Slatedroid working on an Ubuntu Linux port on the 802, but it isnt yet ready for prime time yet. Check out the site and search for "UG802" and it will bring up whats going on with that.

Thanks for your comment it has helped me confirm I did make a right choice by getting a Roku. Most people keep jabbering about being able to watch live TV and stream their media from their computer to TV. What I don't think they realize is both of those things can be done without Roku or Boxee. I already have a tuner card, video card, and "cheap" special cords to do both of those things. To be honest I rarely do either of those things anyway.

Use the learning mode programming feature of the URC A6, and you can program it for anything. I have had success with controlling Roku players using the original remote to learn the functions.

Another option is buying a device like Roku which I hear will give you access to Amazon prime as well. This is larger in size than a dongle but may have better streaming.

Honestly...this product is not going to do anything for your TV. You need something like the "Mini MK802 Android 4.0 Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Allwinner A10 1G DDR3" if your goal is to make your TV a "smart" TV. I have not bought one, but it is on my to buy list as my TV has a USB port, but does not have an ethernet port. This will allow me to get the Android Netflix app etc.Amazon won't let me include a link but you can buy that device here at Amazon.com

Doubt if this will help for your use but I use this to plug an ethernet line (via USB) into my google TV 'box'. I just plugged it in and it worked (no drivers or configuration needed). The google OS apparently sees it as native or the fact it is plugged into USB provides auto conversion from ethernet.
