I've long held the opinion that the most effective way to get Internet-based content onto a TV is to simply hook a laptop up to the flat screen with an HDMI cable. The laptop acts as an oversized remote control. You get a full Flash-based Web browser, hard drive and keyboard on your TV. It's not the lean-back user interface that you get with a cable or satellite subscription, but you do get a la carte programming through Web-browser streaming services like YouTube, Hulu, Netflix and others.
