More research suggests that there is no such thing as a stick PC running any OS that has a full-featured web browser that supports Flash. And as I've said, I've already got a "smart TV" that can get streaming stuff from the internet and can run all kinds of paid apps. But apparently a "smart TV" is too smart to run stupid old ordinary free Hulu, or a really useable web browser. So... Maybe the next option is to use the TV as a dumb audio/visual terminal to run input from my computer. If that's an option, then here's my situation: The SONY Bravia TV has three HDMI inputs and I'm only using one. The TV does accept WiFi--that's how it accesses Netflix, using my cable internet connection via my WiFi router. BUT, the TV does not have a direct digital WiFi interface. It can't be controlled by my computer. I don't have a home network and I don't really want to set one up to do this. So, if I hang a USB WiFi dongle off my PC and install some kind of server software, is there some kind of WiFi HDMI device that I can plug into the TV that will accept audio/visual input from my PC and put it on the TV? If so, what do I need to know about screen resolution issues so I don't have a grainy image on this 46" TV? Thanks for any help.
