I hate this with a passion. I'm all comfy in my chair, ready to watch something, and I get the message that I have to get up and go to my computer and do stuff when all I want to do is watch TV. So I watch something else that doesn't require a computer to watch on TV.

Have you considered using your smartphone, which is right next to you and already configured with your email and a web browser? That was probably the intended use case anyways.

My smartphone is not right next to me unless I'm outside the house. It remains in one place in my home (on my desk). Diff'rent strokes.
