Can I just use this for watching Internet content i.e HULU (NOT Hulu Plus) or watching videos on Network sites like Comedy Central?

I use this device with playon.tv and I can stream Hulu just fine. Apps work fine but browsing is sluggish as reported.

It will be android experience, but just a big screen. My use case is installing Ubuntu and experiments.

I have seen a few videos from network sites, however it uses to crash after a period of time, depending on the quality of the video images. never tried the Hulu app, however all video streaming apps that I tried, seems not work on the device (e.g. netflix)

comedy central may work, but hulu is a no-go. The browsing is pretty slow a leggy on this thing if you keep it stock.

Yes. It is Android. Nearly anything Apps wise you can do on your Android phone you can do with this device.

Netflix, Xfinity, amazon prime all work fine for me. Probably the other people have network issues and not the devices fault. I also play tons of different video types using my local network. (using Es File Explorer)

yes you can , it does virtually everything my pc does, the difference is the operating ststem, it is exactly like my smart phone, ie; file system.i watch u tube videos, you can go to any site you can type in. i hope this answers your question to your satisfaction. michael

I doub it, like I said my review the quality is not that good with my Sony 42 Led. Netflix and Hulu plus app did not worked. Try the Archos tv connect $129 with a nice controler. My solution was a Sony BluRay buil in wifi perfect picture.

With the iOS app you can (maybe an Andriod app too?) but the interface is awful compared to Apple TV or Chromecast so I never use the TV itself for any screen/content sharing.

I'm sorry this device doesn't support Huluplus. You can download the app for it but all it will let you do is view what titles are available otherwise it says the video's not supported. You can play Netflix and youtube quite easily but amazon and hulu isn't supported.

that depends on what channel you are using - i believe hulu only lets you watch one thing at a time, for example.

Yes, if you want to watch YouTube videos, you have to use the YouTube on the your safari not the YouTube app it works great when I watch movies on netflix and hulu

Yes, it can browse/playback media from a DLNA server (personally I use Tversity).

I don't see why not. I used it to stream high def video files on my pc. Although, sometimes if I'm watching something and copying large amounts of info it may skip a little.

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!

I have the same TV and it can stream Amazon Video on Demand, Netflix and Hulu by itself. Once the TV is connected to the internet either by wired connection or the wifi adapter you only have to press the internet button on the remote. A menu will pop up on the bottom of the screen and you can pick the service you want to use. I've used mine for Amazon VOD and Netflix and it works great.

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.

I am still learning and I did not set mine up for that but you can view these in a number of ways with lots of different software. I am using ISPY freeware and you can specify a youtube channel I think from there. also works with VLC media player. just set up the ip and pull it up. also Airvision comes with it for monitoring as well.

Yes, absolutely. The chromebook can access any website, including those that stream video.

Sorry, I don't know. I used Linux with this. I would imagine that it would have support for Netflix & YouTube.

You could use it with a cable tuner box, direct TV, slingbox or similar and just connect it with a HDMI cable.

Yes, it is; but super limited! restricted! Only Netflix, Youtube (not all videos), Hulu, and some apps. It is Wi-Fi or wired. Not the best. Try Boxee Box if you like internet tv; it is more flexible, but does not have surround system. It is just the box, internet super ready.

No, it is just a tablet. One can only see a video from streaming internet source.

If you mean the Amazon Prime videos for viewing, the answer is NO. That is the main reason why this did not suit my needs.
