Most user friendly would probably be any half decent box or mini-itx with TV-Out running windows version of Boxee and a cheap MCE remote. Boxee can do hulu and lot of other sites. Next in line would be PC running bootable XBMC with plugins for various sites.
If you're lucky enough to already have a networked DVD player you can purchase Playon for $39 one time fee, and run just about every streaming website through your player. I do this with an Avel Linkplayer2 and can watch everything. I frequently watch netflicks, hulu, ScyFy and Crackle sites without any problems. Keep in mind you do need a decent server to run the playon software since all encoding is done on the fly. I'm running it on a quade core mini-itx XP x64 system. lopaka --- On Wed, 9/9/09, G.Waleed Kavalec <[email protected]> wrote: From: G.Waleed Kavalec <[email protected]> Subject: [H] hdtv and web channel hookup To: "The Hardware List" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 8:01 AM My wife and I are looking at a Samsung 40" HDTV (UN40B7000 probably) and I'd like to be able to easily toggle into various web channels now available. What is the easiest (and most spouse friendly) way to do this? I have Comcast for both TV and Internet, and I'm open to dedicating a PC to the job. -- -- Gregory Waleed Kavalec --------------------------------------------- What matters?...
