It displays whatever is on the computer screen. The audio part isn't great though so I have my audio coming out of my computer speakers half the time. That could just be an error on my part.

The Netflix app is available (free). I just streamed two movies over the weekend without any issues or buffering. The screen on this tablet is amazing.

anything you have on your computer can be watched on this... basically if you can see it on your computer screen it will show up on the television if you're using this.

No, only the internet connections from your hard drive. The previous response sounded about right. You need an external hard drive or drive C but that will work. I don't care that it doesn't access my entire Hard Drive because I only use the DVD player for the 55" Wide Screen RCA LED TV with all the bells and whistles. I've got a 27" wide screen ASUS Monitor connected to my laptop, and that's enough satisfaction for me. TV for me isn't meant to mess with my entire hard drive, just entertainment and with that, it's fantastic. Certified Life Coach

No. It hooks up either wirelessly or with a cable. Your choice. I'm hooked up wirelessly and love the ability to watch an entire movie with no interruption to load. It works great.

No it doesn't. Since I don't use it to watch streamed movies, it wasn't one of my desires. It is a very nice computer though. Just takes a little getting used to windows 8.1.

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!

I don't really know. It just displays on my TV whatever is on the computer screen. I use it mainly for games and watching video.

No..this doesnt play anything but files you have downloaded. This box doesn't hook up to the internet at all

It will only play from a USB drive type device but not a USB hard drive. Would not recommend it for watching movies.

I bought mine about a month and a half ago and haven't had it not play anything so I think it does. I do netflix, youtube, stream hulu, and other videos from network sites like abc, nbc, mtv etc. It is full windows 8 so should do everything a PC would.

It doesn't matter what the program you want to watch. As log as your computer has an HDMI port, as well as your HDMI, (and assuming they are both working fine), the HDMI cable will transmit the image on your computer on your tv and also the sound.

No... It will only playback downloaded music, provided it works at all... Which it probably won't.

You don't stream the compatible versions. You just download an play. Everything else you stream.

I'm not totally sure since I only purchased it to watch movies. However it does say that you can play music,movies,and view pictures downloaded onto USB and SD cards. Hope this was helpful.

No. It will project whatever you have on your computer screen. The usb dongle generates its own wireless link.
