    Basically what I am looking for is something with a HDMI out put so can hook it to my tv for streaming from certain websites where i would need to download certain programs and or plugins.(dont mean netflix or hulu)

    Well be doing other things on it as well but most for just streaming TV shows. Dont care about HD space, or much of anything else as long as it can surf web and stream of course.

    Was going to just grab a netbook but some of these tablets do have HDMI outputs and are cheaper but i dont know what they all can do.

    Need it to be able to...

    install Firefox or Internet Explorer
    Run Veetle
    Run Stream Torrent

    If anyone know if i go with a tablet like this one with it work or just better off getting netbook?

    Nothing from apple or google will do everything you want. You will need windows 7 (NOT WINDOWS 7 MOBILE!!!) to do all that. There are a few Win7 tablets out, but most are generic chinese imports with questionable quality. HP also makes one (again, questionable quality)...but the HP needs a special dock to do HDMI output, and HP has not started selling this dock yet.

    Get a netbook, or wait...because there are currently no tablets I would recommend for this job.
