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.
Surely there is a help desk at Samsung TV. His user manual should provide a phone number.
