Hello.

I am looking to purchase a 32" television.

Are there any models which include flash - for watching some of the catchup services available via the Internet.

Most TV's are so called 'SMART' TV's these days, but all of them are only upgradeable by the manufacturer, and generally don't include flash - catchup is via the supplied services.

Smart TV's are not PC's. They just offer a selection of specified catch up services (which will vary from one brand to another).

I have not been able to find a single TV, Blu-Ray player, Android TV box or media streaming device (Roku/WDTV etc) that is capable of running all available content.

A small net-top PC is the ideal, otherwise a combination of an Android device running XBMC and Android apps for the various content providers (RK3188-based, quad-core players available for around £30), and a YouView box (available for under £100 on eBay) is about as good as it gets.

The smart functionality of a TV is essentially a PC, but it's heavily locked down.

Your query highlights the reason my brand-new Panasonic TV has neither smart features nor 3D -- neither function is really worth having!
