Can I use the dongle to watch online content that is available on my computer, such as PBS masterpiece theater?

Yes - it'll adapt to your earphones jack to the USB connection. I also use mine with Skype and other VOIP applications in Windows7.

I imagine if you are using a headset with it no problem, I am not sure how you were thinking of using it. It works great with any of the headsets, earbuds, or gaming stereo headsets that i have tried, I even use it to plug my speakers in and it does a fantastic job with them. I also use it with my speech recognition program on Windows 7 without a problem.

I just received mine the other day, it's a self contained unit the router model number and password pop up on your tv when it's plugged in, use these once you've downloaded the EZcast app to gain access, the dongle creates a wifi network that links to your computer and mobile device. The firmware in the dongle is updatable and that runs the programming. you also need a semi smart phone to interact with it (I have a 4G LTE, it's not that smart but the app works if ignore the system update warnings) it works with streaming videos, not seamlessly, but watchable and transmits the sound well. My attempts at sharing the screen while playing games on steam have failed so far. While I'm give advise I might as well add that getting a 'L' HDMI extender plug might be worth it, the media beam dongle sticks horizontally out of the back of the flat screen, reducing the screens ability to be flat. (protrudes an extra 10 cm now) hope that helps

Sure, if your USB stick has ChromeCast, PPTV (网络电视) or another application that offers IPTV services.

Not quite too sure about it. But I think there is a Bluetooth small dongle that came with my tv.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

No. To display stuff on a TV I'd buy a $30 Google Chrome cast and do it wirelessly. Can also rent or buy films as a bonus.

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

Can you plug an HD Antenna into the back with a USB dongle & watch local over-the-air channels?- I have not tried it, but I don't believe so.Can it see/browse video files on a network NAS?- Yes. It was able to see my SaMBa share without any problems and play the videos there.

No dongle. Strictly connects via Bluetooth wireless. I'm not too sure if you could also use it with your home PC. If it had Bluetooth capability. The main reason I got mine was to use it with the Surface.

Jacob sorry for the delay in giving you an answer but I do not always check my email or get on Amazon. I use it to listen to Pandora on my TV. As for other APPS, I use my MAC that is also connected to my TV. You can use the connection for HULU, Netflex or many other APPS that your Smart TV is capable of connecting to. The device is very easy to use and actually easier than the WiFi that is built in. I used the Dongle because of the distance from my bedroom to the router. The dongle picks up a stronger signal than the built in WiFi.

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.

Well, yes and no, Officially they do not support it but in reality it does work to view content but the user interface doesn't work due to Windows 8 changing how they communicate with the host PC. In order to use it on Windows 8 and control what you are watching you need to use their remote application, essentially you remotely control that PC/extender.

Yes. Just plug the dongle into a usb port and follow the instructions to set it up.

If you have DLNA enabled on your windows 7 PC, and the wireless usb installed on the tv,... yes. You can push content

Also both AppleTV and WiFi capable DVD players I have seen allow you to watch YouTube....

Yes, do a search for "Google Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player". This provides wireless connectivity to HDMI...
