    Webpage for Smart TV

    I have a Samsung Smart TV and I would like it so that there's either a shortcut like an App button or I can simply switch Source on my remote and come to a webpage.

    Now, the reasoning behind what I am trying to do is that my family would like to watch some foreign channels that are available on the net on different sites but they are not broadcast in the UK e.g. AXN, Animax, etc.
    On my webpage, there will be icons for various channels and with a Bluetooth mouse, I can click on a channel and the channel will load up.

    What's the best solution for what I am trying to achieve? Chromecast ? A Windows 8 OTG USB stick ? Raspberry Pi ?

    Basically, all I need is a device that can play Flash videos and also be able to launch Firefox.

    After doing some fiddling about,
    - The Samsung Smart TV OS is a custom version of Linux and you can't install Firefox on it.
    - I can use HTML frames to create my webpage and add the website link as the homepage to load when I launch the built-in browser.
    - I can use Samsung's AllShare play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FX3y7O_TOew
    but it is only available on select phones and my old Galaxy S2 should be of use.

    Sorry.. woot?

    I came up with my own solution in the end. I bought a HDMI intel compute stick and installed Windows 8.1 , Flash player and Portable Firefox on it. I created a webpage with the channel icons and set it as the homepage for Firefox. I then plugged in the USB Bluetooth dongle onto the stick and use my mouse to click the channel icons. If I need a keyboard, I take advantage of the on-screen keyboard.

    I can't believe I paid extra for a Smart TV when I initially bought my TV, the browser is slow, there's no support for new Flash players and apps seem to be constantly being removed by samsung ( e.g. Skype, the Exercise app )

    Samsung removed Skype as Microsoft is discontinuing Skype for TV support ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-35752658 ) . Not supporting flash is a good thing. my only gripe with my smart tv is that spotify works on the older ones but not the newer ones.

    May be network speed is very slow and Internet service provider has heavy congestion in your place.You regenerate your tv then use your browser.The latest version of flash player may be does not support for your tv.

    I think the poster meant reset. Regenerate may be a literal translation for someone who's first language is not English. Reset=restart=start_again_from_the_beginning=regenerate

    Regenerate is related meaning to reset. So, I mention regenerate your tv and use the webpage for smart tv.
