Cool..but I have a SONY Bravia TV. It's got all the bells and

whistles--lots of built-in paid service apps. It's also got an Opera web

browser but it doesn't include Flash and anything more than a very basic

website is not controllable via the remote.

It does not have the ability to connect via WiFi to my computer though;

that's something I didn't consider when buying it. So the device that Alan

posted about was interesting both because it has a media server that can be

used to pull in media from my computer, and because it has the "Android

browser", in which I would be very interested if it comes with Flash and

would support access to the free Hulu website using the IR

mini-keyboard/touchpad accessory.
