    The Samsung SMT-S7800 does. There may be others.

    Just handy to be able to watch it on the tv, without going to the effort of hooking up a laptop to the tv....

    Many consumer entertainment devices (sat receivers, media players, TVs, DVD players etc.) claim YouTube capabilities; however the reality is that it's usually a horrendous experience. I think you’ll find most people will use it once and realise it’s a waste of time.

    What might look acceptable on a small part of a browser window on your laptop (or desktop) doesn’t blow up too well when filling a 32” or a larger screen. You also have the issue of searching – typing words using a TV remote is just painful!

    ...why not just watch it on the laptop? Hooking it up to the TV seems overkill for YouTube.

    yeah I was thinking quality wouldn't be great allright, but was just curious to see what was out there.. .as I'm thinking of getting a freesat box, I'll probably just go with http://www.amazon.co.uk/Technisat-HDFS-Freesat-HD-Receiver/dp/B002DPVMXO/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I7TER9HEUIC2F&colid=2XVFHGQPRDKPG
    but just wanted to check if there was anything in the same price range with youtube on it....yeah never thought o f the hassle of typing stuff in either!
