no there is no app that you can download to help the computer out. This is an older computer that only has one processor so when watching youtube or hulu will not really work out for you. You cannot upgrade this computer to that level either. This computer is good for just searching the web or writing a paper for work or school. The technology just isn't there for this computer. If you want something that can do what you want you will have to get a macbook, macbook pro, or even a macbook air. I have a macbook pro which will do everything that you want. You will just have to spend more money or get something like a toshiba or hp. They are less money but not in my opinion on the level as a macbook no there is no app that you can download to help the computer out.

It did not work at all. Sorry, I cannot answer any question about this device.

Richard Zwick's answer is spot on. I have this old IBook to travel with. I process pictures to back up and do basic email. It's a computer that is not a great risk for theft. It is not up to the things you want to do. Try to get the most up to date used computer you can buy on Amazon or web-based auction.

You can download directly to this model bypassing the need for a computer. Ultimately though the apple tv will want to transfer your purchases back to your computer so it can maintain your itunes library. It will do what you want as you describe it.

I just got my itouch for Christmas. I have had no trouble syncing photos and mucsic, but am having trouble with video and tv shows. I have downloaded tv shows from itunes and can get them to play on my laptop, but they do not seem to be syncing to my itouch. It is not a matter of space...still have over 14GB. I assume tv shows would fall under the video tab...but they dont seem to be. What am I missing?? MP

Do Amazon movies conform to the Apple TV specs ( http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html )? If so, just load them into iTunes and turn on Home Sharing in iTunes and watch them on your Apple TV.

Yes. I watch streaming videos a lot, mostly use netflix, youtube, and other various movie apps. The browser does support flash. This device is like a Android smart phone that hooks up to your big screen tv. Android OS is known for supporting flash and Iphones do not. You can also download different browser apps from Amazon apps and Google play.

You would need PlayON to watch Hulu and CBS. Right now it can only do Flickr, YouTube, Pandora, etc.

why don't you just go to those sites you're interested in watching and see if they have full episodes available? Hulu is blocked, tv.com (cbs) is blocked, SyFy is blocked, but history channel and FX are not. So far for me at least, the thing having a browser is a novelty at best because 1) everything you really actually want to see is blocked and 2)navigating to the site, then through the site to get where you want, clicking it, getting it full screen, etc. is just a pain.

Yes, that is what Smart Hub and the apps are for. It does depend if the site has an app, like Netflix and Hulu do, you can search and download one if available. Also may be able to watch through the built-in web browser although I haven't tried that yet. This TV is almost like a computer when it comes to watching media of all types. Can even plug in an external hard drive or USB flash drive and watch content on them.

Yes and no. All the major TV apps that I've tried work great (TNT, ABC, TBS...) but for Amazon your only option is a program called FlashFox Pro. Amazon's streaming runs on Flash Player and the FlashFox browser is the only one left on Android that runs Flash. The app is available on the Google Play store. Amazon says that they are working on an Android app, but they've been saying that for a while now. They've got one for iOS but since their Kindle Fire is in direct competition with all other Android tablets I'm not holding my breath. It's too bad because I'm a Prime member and I definitely feel cheated.

Works with netflix and YouTube and videos from your video gallery and download from iTunes. Unsure about other apps. What video download apps would you be using?

Yes. Hulu is a pre-installed app & Amazon Instant Video can be downloaded free. (Watching an Amazon Instant Prime movie on it right now) Can also get Redbox, Blockbuster & several other instant video apps free. Works great!

The TV has it's own operating system similar to what you would find in an iOS or Android device - not as advanced as that but the concept is similar. You can download new apps for various services. You can stream Netflicks, Hulu, Amazon Movies, Crackle, Vudu, YouTube, and other services with apps on the TV. It has WiFi built in and you can also use a standard network cable (CAT5) like you would for a PC. I've had the TV for a little over 2 months and have been very happy with it. My guess is Roku would not be needed.

Hello,Sorry you cannot. Those games require Flash, and these older units cannot install the current flash. They will also not do any videos on the web like Youtube, Netflix, Hulu etc. IF you need the Flash games or videos, you will need a Macbook. Any Macbook will play Facebook games and do videos. Thanks, Chris Betamacs

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.

I have not found anything that I could not download onto this device. I have watched videos on it but I have not downloaded Adobe Flash...that said, it could have already been on the device when I got it, Adobe Reader was. I love this thing and so do my grandchildren (ages 13 & 9). They both play game and watch tons of Youtube vids.

With my iPod Touch 2.0 if you go into iPod remote mode i can get youtube to show on the tv screen, but audio only for Netflix and Hulu+ with the picture showing only on the iPod Touch screen.
