It can stream videos from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc. You cannot use it to logon on to check emails or for social media.

Mine works great for Netflix, don't use it for much anything else unless I'm bored or curious to see what else is online to watch. For an older unit it still hangs in there with some newer models and plays just about anything, I use the PS3 media server to stream movies that wouldn't otherwise play thru smart media or usb. I haven't seen any updates for the firmware since I got mine, but that may not be unusual since I haven't seen any problems other than some codecs that don't play unless streaming them from a PC.

Internet is required for the movie streaming. I love it. Great and save money on cable.

No you cannot. FYI - you cannot use the internet via the USB connection (too slow) and the video out HDMI is a pain to work with most screens. So in other words its pretty useless unless you like paying a ton of money for a few more USB ports. You can buy a USB port replicator for $5-$10.

No, you cannot get internet. It's TV only. To get internet, you need another type of dish, and it won't receive TV.

No. You could run internet to a hub and install a VOIP Phone like Vonage that runs over the internet

Anything that has an iEthernet port can use this for internet. All this does basically is replace a long Ethernet cable with a wireless signal it pulls from your router no special drivers needed just hook to your pc the first time to log it to your network unplug it and put it wherever you want and it'll pull the wifi signal and send it through an Ethernet cable to whatever you need to have internet that didn't have wifi

Yes, you can use it for your desktop, if if AT&T;'s data plans are available in your area. You have to sign up for an AT&T; data plan. Put in your ZIP code and it will tell you if you can use AT&T; for this to get internet access. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/dataplans.html

No, this is only used to pass internet through from your ISP. It does not provide you with any channels.

Good luck. You need to get it to receive your wifi signal. It's just a bit faster than no internet at all.

You have to hook it up with the ethernet cord to gain access to the internet, but you can watch what is being broadcast online through that. I believe if you spend sometime with it you might be able too. I really doubt it because there are only two usb ports on the box. One is for the mouse and the other can be for downloading the recorded content.

Hi Tanya,Yes if you want to use the Internet you can either plug in an Ethernet cable into the back of the console or you will need to buy the wifi adapter.

So it is possible to get the internet if you are in a wireless environment. You just have to buy one that has a carrier.

you need the internet. additionally,i never could get it set up without being able to hard wire it to a router before using it wirelessly. which made it useless for my situation.(no access to router, just a wireless signal.
