I bought a WD-TV-media player that would stream to my TV from any Har-drive

or Netflix but I didn't have an input on my AV receiver open to run it

through my surround sound. Since then, I've decided to put in a video card

with hdmi out and a DROBO to use as media server... BUT I still will have to

go directly to my TV (by passing my reciever). This will let me run power

point and camtasia projects on my big screen. Eventually I need to get an

AV-Reciever that has enough input options.

Sorry, didn't know that. We don;t have Hulu this side of the pond.

Android does support flash, but Adobe has stopped supporting it (on mobile

platforms in general).

I've had some luck with it in the past, but my phones not exactly fast.
