Can I browse the internet just as freely as a PC or are you mostly limited to TV-Movie content?

Yes you can browse freely like a pc. You can do every thing I watch tv and browse the internet its awsome

I wouldn't say you can browse just like a PC, but more like a smartphone with a Chrome browser. Flash videos aren't supported (unlike PC chrome browser), that's the major difference. The look and feel of all the other webpages you access will be the tablet/smartphone layout.

Sure, if it's connected to a PC or laptop with the appropriate software to view a movie (I'm assuming a movie on DVD is what you mean).

Nope, you won't need any extra equipment to access, Netflix, YouTube, etc. The apps are right on the screen and easy to use.

Yes, however, it's limited. If you're looking to play locally stored videos and you have a newer PC, you'll want to look into Media Browser 3 or Plex (if you have a Mac, Plex is still an option). They will catalogue your media so you can scroll through it easily on the Roku and will re-encode the media to a Roku friendly format on-the-fly.

you can browse from the tv but it is a little clumsy compared to a laptop computer. I plugged in a Logitech K400 and K700 keyboard into the USB ports on the side and they work pretty good with a few quirks.

Yes, this could be setup on a TV only. You only need a computer if you want to use the view your cameras in the Internet feature.

If the tv has hdmi and the computer has mini dvi then yes you can view HD movies.

Yes, you can easily browse the internet and use sites such as Facebook and Pintrest. The computer also comes with an application to access to your email, or you could use the web browser. It is great for browsing the internet! It is not limited to those things either, you can make spreadsheets, presentations, and it has a great word processor

No, internet is not needed unless you want to watch from another computer at a different location.

No, it is just a tablet. One can only see a video from streaming internet source.

No. You need to have the TV in your vacation home connected to a PC that is connected to the internet using at least DSL speeds (ie, not dialup). The TV will be the video display for the PC or a laptop, but note that the PC and the TV must have the same kind of connector, like HDMI or VGA with an audio cable. An internet-ready TV will allow you to connect to Netflix, Pandora, and a few other services, but not Slingboxes.

My Amazon Instant Video does have the My Watchlist that I see can have Movies and TV shows. I'm not sure how I can get to watch on my TV. I can watch on my computer!

No... You can hook it up to a tv monitor or computer but in order to view it on anything other than what it is hard wired to you will need internet connection ... It uses an ip address that you assign for when you wish to basically broad cast and you can set up a password to protect it from others viewing it ... Hope this helps !!

The average person will NOT be able to do this. IF you are Tech savvy, and you are okay with jumping through hoops because you really, really, want to find some alternative way to view this content for some burning reasons - then it's certainly possible. If you expect to simply unplug the drive and plug it into some random PC and view the content on a typical default video viewing program - then the answer is NO.
