Or a hdmi/vga cord and use the TV as a monitor. Usually a plug and play experience for the tech challenged. Since it already works on his pc/laptop should be easy.

I'm trying to long-distance-coach a tech-challenged friend on using his Samsung SmartTV's web browser to view content his Cable TV service doesn't carry. (This is not trying to get around stuff without paying--the content, out of area sports, FWIW, is freely available to watch on his PC.)
When he tries to access the content with the Samsung-embedded browser, he gets an immediate prompt to upgrade Flash. Following the offered links allows access to what is labeled as "Linux" rpm and/or tgz versions, neither of which will install on the TV. So, the content won't load.
While I've suggest he do a general upgrade of the TV firmware, in hopes there's a usable Flash upgrade included, I'm thinking of pointing him in a different direction--say, a ChromeCast.
Any other suggestions? Thanks.
