Just started using my Sharp LED TV and love it but I wish it had the Hulu app.

i would like to use this aquos tv with hulu as well, that would be the best app. i bought roku, but that seems pointless on an already wifi tv. Maybe if we bug sharp enough they'll figure out a way to add it.

The Netflix app is available (free). I just streamed two movies over the weekend without any issues or buffering. The screen on this tablet is amazing.

M, sorry, but I'm not going to be much help with this question. I stream off Netflix and Hulu. Also watch DVDs via a blu-ray player hooked to the TV via HDMI. There are 2 USB ports on the TV, however.

Robbie....Thanks for the wealth of discussion on the S560 I am another dope who thought he would get Netflix streaming only to find out the it was only available on the S460.. then my son in law called a few mins ago and said the tech that had just set up his HD TV and PS3 said he needed the disk from Netflix before he can receive netflix. He then said I should use the disk to set up the S560 .... now I can tell him the it "almost works" but needs a date/time config........any more ideas guys?

I just bought this TV, too, but don't have it yet. Do you mean does it come with Internet apps or something? It doesn't. You can hook up a PC display to it, per the specs. You need an external device to connect to the Internet. In regard to watching Netflix on the TV, have you considered getting Roku? It's a very small device you use for streaming on your TV instead of (or also in conjunction with) using your PC. I love it and have the XD which will be used with this Panasonic when it comes. I also just ordered Roku 2 XS (on sale on Amazon) which will be used on the Sony I'm currently using the XD on when that comes. They have a Roku LT, which is cheaper than these two and is $50-$60. There are also channels for all Rokus, though the better ones (like Netflix) charge a fee. Still, cheaper than cable/satellite and you don't have to have your PC on to watch them on TV. You can check them out either on Amazon or Roku.com. Easy to set up and to use, too. BTW, since you already have streaming Netflix to your PC, there would be no additional charge using Netflix with Roku and watching on your TV. You would just need to activate the Roku device through Netflix. Hope this helps you enjoy Netflix on your TV. :)

Has anyone tried hooking up a laptop? I tried it hooked up to the PC input on my Bravia TV and get NO (ok, very little) volume. It's been suggested that a setting on my laptop needs to be changed. I need to watch streaming video for work. Anyone have ideas?

The screen resolution is just ok. And hulu plus IS NOT supported on this device. I JUST downloaded it and it said....sorry... Hulu Plus IS NOT supported.... but you can look at what you would like to download.

This series of TVs are not "smart"; that is, they do not have any internet connectivity. So, as is, you cannot stream from wifi. On my 50L5200U I got around this by adding a Roku3 which works perfectly.

I didn't hook up a laptop but I hooked up my roku to the HDMI slot it came in @ 720p I went to my roku settings and changed the setting to 1080p-try changing your laptop setting

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.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm not sure this would be worth purchasing if it isn't capable of HD streaming. Does anyone know if this is something that could be resolved with a software update, or would it require Slingbox to release a new "Slingcatcher HD"?

Hi Jim, Amazon publishes a list of its compatible devices here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/video/ontv/devices/ref=hp_3757_compatible I do not know why some devices are compatible and some aren't, but I can tell you that having an Amazon compatible device is of the utmost importance to me. Rarely will a smart tv or smart blu ray have Amazon but not Netflix or Hulu.

It works on my sharp aquos. Only issue is, the white and yellow plugs on the cable may be miss colored. I had to plug the video in (yellow) to the white plug on the cable and the right audio (white) into the yellow plug. Works great now.

If you buy the internet adapter it should stream amazon, netflix, etc. I bought one, but it didn't work. I suggest buying a Roku instead if you want to stream. I have one, and it works extremely well.

It's the stupid DRM copy protection garbage they've been adding recently (called "Flash Access"). That broke streaming for both the TouchPad and the Playbook as well as Linux for much of the content on Amazon (most shows and some movies so far, and growing). There's a relatively easy workaround for Linux, and the updated Flash player on Android should also work, but it's not so easy to fix on TouchPad or PlayBook. This is not a rumor, it has been confirmed by Amazon customer service. If you don't like the direction they are heading, feel free to let them know, or try contacting HP to push for an updated version with the Flash Access DRM module.

Where would I look in the manual to find out. What steps do you do to change that setting on your tv, so I can see if my tv will do that. My tv is a fairly new Sharp Aquos.

I have found lower quality resolution with Netflix streaming wirelessly than I get with Amazon using the same speed and config. I have a BluRay player attached that has wireless that I plan to try to see if it is better but I don't think it is the connection since I can stream HD from Amazon and get a totally crisp picture. I have a 10mb connection.UPDATE:As mentioned above I did try streaming Netflix through my Sony BluRay to see if the connection was better. It may have been very marginally better, but did not solve the recurring pixelation problem. In my case at 10mb it may be partially a speed problem. I plan to upgrade to 60 or 90 in the next few weeks and will post another update after that as well.
