The cars just what i needed

Took me a day to figure it out. Also, as reported by someone else here there can be problems with NetFlix. In my case, it happens when trying to view NetFlix videos that are in HD. When I tried to watch an HD movie, the system constantly stops and re-buffers the stream. This never happened with my Roku after watching dozens of movies. The second one I tried worked fine, so there s a chance it was my cable connection, not the player. Despite these two issues, the player was easy to get set up, the blu-ray picture is awesome, and the Internet resources are a huge bonus. I waited a long time to upgrade to Blu-Ray. After reading several reviews for the Sony BDP-N460 and other players, I quickly realized this was not going to be a simple plug and play like the old DVD players. Three very important aspects and concerns of owning a Blu-Ray player became evident. 1st: Whichever Blu-Ray player I purchased would need a firmware or software update. 2nd: A connection to the internet for updates and on-line content. 3rd: Memory in form of a USB flash drive for refresh and BD live. The Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player is as close to plug and play I could have hoped for, and at a great price. I had no problem with the hook up to the internet. Updates/Firmware where a cinch to install, and on-line content is amazing. Though Sony recommends using 1GB USB flash drive or greater, I went to 16GB. I ve had little or no buffer time, saves and continues from any point on the DVD/Blu-Ray and plenty of room for BD-Live. So far no problems playing my old DVD s or Blu-Ray. The only real drawback to the Sony BDP-N460, it does NOT provide a wireless connection to the internet, you will need a category 5e cat5e cable or a wireless bridge. For that it should get 4 stars, but not for the ease of use and hook up I am conceding Practically Remote is of no use. Box was actually wider than projected/expected. I mainly purchased the Sony BDP-N460 player for its streaming video capabilities and to replace a previous generation Sony Blue-ray player. Prior to my purchase, I considered the Apple TV or integrating an Apple Mac mini into my entertainment system. I concluded a streaming video-enabled Blue-ray disc player would offer simplicity and versatility for my entertainment needs. Streaming video content is definitely where the industry is headed. Blue-ray start up and playback meet my expectations, and the user interface is acceptable, however I wish there was a feature item to allow the user to manage which streaming video gadget icons are displayed on the Home screen.
