Hm. Interesting, especially the media server, since my TV isn't

computer-controllable.

I've been to the FAVI website

(http://www.favientertainment.com/v/vspfiles/SmartStick_custom/index.html)

but it's short on technical detail.

My TV already has a bunch of stuff in it, including Netflix. If I plug this

thing in, does it mess up what's already in the TV? Or is it just using the

TV as a dumb monitor?

It comes with "Android's web browser". Does that browser have Flash?

I'm trying to get my TV to provide full access to the Hulu (NOT "Hulu +",

but free ordinary Hulu) website. My SONY has a built-in version of the

Opera browser but it doesn't include flash and the remote can't really

operate the site.

Thanks.
