All Beyonwiz models have a DLNA server installed and pre-configurd to serve media from /media/hdd/movie.

If your TV can play media from DLNA servers (which is likely) you should be able to stream that way, but it may be less satisfactory than playing the media on the Beyonwiz and watching it via HDMI on the TV.

It's hard to give much advice about it without knowing why you want to play media from the Beyonwiz that way.

You don't need a V2 to stream those sorts of services, the Sony TV should have it's own apps for then. Maybe not Hulu as that is a US-only service.

Double black lines?
You're not talking about the letterboxing on the top and bottom of movies are you? If so, those are supposed to be there so you can see everything in the film frame that the director intended you to see.
