It’s a PITA though b/c the TV is so slow. I probably could start the HTPC/XBMC and get to starting the show in the same time it takes for the TV to start, suck in all the data and start playing it, but that would have me power up 3 devices instead of just one.
Youtube is basically unuseable, the interface of the TV is just way too slow. Slower than a 6 year old smartphone. Just horrible.
