Well, if you don't want to spend any more money in SL, the thing to do is copy/paste the url you want to watch into the "World/About Land/Media/" url field, then click the Texture box above it, click the eyedropper, and click the prim you want to show the movie on, in this case, I guess, the Freeview tv. This is the fastest (no scripting), cheapest way to do it :o)

Wow, never even thought of that one .....I might give it a try as I was thinking of buying a TV set that would allow me to watch some youtube videos. I'm presuming that this idea would only work on land you actually own or land owned by a group of which you are an owner or officer?

Yeah, you'd need access to the Media field, but it only works with quicktime formats, that's video in sl. LOL..that's the normal way to set the media field..
