Firmware update I just bought a BD 570. No problem with connecting to my home wireless network. It came with the s/w version of BD.8.31.228.c and prompted me for a firware update to the s/w BD.8.31.323.c. I tried to download the update twice and both times failed at the end of the download. Called LG 1-800 and I was told there was an issue with the latest update. The rep also said it would be fixed in about a week. Anyone has a similar problem? I think I might have gotten a defective one and thinking about to return it and get a Sony instead. Firmware update I just bought a BD 570. No problem with connecting to my home wireless network.

Hey, New information!!!!Download the two zip files under BD570 from http://www.lg.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD570&initialTab;=drivers&targetPage;=support-product-profileunzip them and put the files from the two files on a usb drive formated for NTFS. You could try doing it with FAT32, mine was NTFS though.Plug it into the USB port on the player and it will ask you if you want to update. It added a channel in Netcast and fixed a common problem with Netflix.

Received mine with 300.C. I spent most of last night trying to update it. Finally, after about a dozen attempts, or more, the new firmware downloaded and installed. The most frustrating part was several times it downloaded nearly 100% before failing. and it takes nearly 20 minutes re-download.

i bought my 570 a week ago - and it took four attempts - but did finally get this initial upgrade to happen. it took mine ~30 to 40 minutes between the download and install portions, but that may just be a function of a slow wireless connection i have (5mps). Once installed though, it fixed the Netflix issues and added DivXTV as a netcast channel.

It looks like LG did correct the problem with the firmware upgrade. I did the firmware upgrade thru my wireless network just couple days ago and it came thru successfully. I was thinking if it failed, I'd do what Matt suggested. You might want to give it a try again with the upgrade. I'm going to rent a blue-ray movie, hopefully it won't freeze.

I am having the same problem. I am trying to update via USB and having trouble.

Also got mine with 300.C The player found the update and wanted to update, but failed 3 times trying to download it. Once it did get the download and started the update, then just froze. I went to LG's page and put the firmware on a usb drive and the player could not find it. I tried to let the player download the firmware again and half way through, it turned itself off. What is the deal with the download speed? The time it did download the whole thing, it took over 30 mins. By comparison, downloading from LG online was almost instant. Its only 47mb.

Sony is notorious for having wifi issues. I believe there is an update that will address some of these issues. Good luck..

Thanks for the info. Guess i have to wait for the newer firmware version. Since I purchase on Amazon, i assume i would have to work it through Samsung if i bricked it. P.S. Funny enough, when I first received the unit, i tried to do a firware upgrade and it said that none were available. It should have been, so maybe i was lucky it didn't work.

I encountered same problem. In June 2010 (18 months after purchase), my Sony BDP-550 stopped recognizing Blu-Ray disks. All other types of disks still work. Sony had me upgrade the firmware and reset device to factory settings. No effect. The Sony customer support people pretend that they have never heard of this problem. I sent them a dozen on-line reports by others who talked to Sony and were also told to upgrade the firmware without effect. Now, I am trying to get a written quote for the replacement of this defective BDP-550, but Sony will not provide it. They want me to mail them the player with a credit card number without ever providing written estimate.

Hi Steve:The firmware for my LG tv only allows to connect with Wireless routers and not with my LG blu-ray deviceThe only way to connect this blu ray it is by using an HDMI port, there is no way to connect wireless TV vs blu ray devices. The only way should be by changing the sofftware fimware from my TV, Which only depends on theLG manufacturer.RegardsSMM

I just downloaded the latest firmware update from the samsung website to a flash drive and went through the steps to update the BD player. Now, I'm having the same problems that everyone is reporting - it won't play a Blueray disc. It get's stuck in the "load" mode. It will, however, play a DVD without a problem. So, like many others before me, I will be taking it back to the store. Samsung wanted me to send it to them, but I don't think I'm going down that nightmare road.

I purchased this TV in March 2015. It would find the wifi service ID however it would fail after entering the password multiple times. I changed the connection to Wired and hooked up an ethernet cable from the router. Went to the Menu and software update area where I saw that the firmware on the TV as it was shipped was several versions behind. Once I installed the latest update via the same wired connection successfully and then proceeded to change the Internet Connection to Wireless in settings, attempted reconnection to my wireless connection and Voila, it established the wireless connection in the first try.

I too had a TX-NR515 delivered last week from Amazon with this firmware version. It would not allow me to put the other version of the firmware on it via USB as it said it was up to date. I called Onkyo and they said that as long as the last 4 digits were 0400, than it is the most recent update, even if there is some difference with a 5 instead of4 in the first sequence of numbers. So far it has been working just fine... but agian, it has only been a week or so.

does anyone know if the firmware upgrade fixes it to where you can play Disney Blu-rays. I had to watch Ponyo in my ps3. and I have Dial up so How can I get the firmware upgrade?

There are no firmware updates that I am aware of. AND I would not expect to see one. These devices are priced to be a nearly disposable item. I would test thoroughly, quickly, and return it it it doesn't measure up.

Are you referring to after you've connected to the card? If so, go into your wifi settings choose the WiFi connection you want and reconnect.I wasn't aware of the firm ware update mentioned and will look to upgrade mine.

I also own a BDP-N460 blu-ray player. At the original setup, after "activating enhanced features", a "registration code" was shown on the screen. Not knowing any better, I did not write down the number, now I wish I had. As was mentioned in an earlier post, this number does not appear again after the initial setup. The first internet service I linked with was Netflix. This has worked very well and has given me no problems. But when I tried to link with Amazon, I found that it was necessary to have the "registration code" that was now unavailable for viewing. I have talked with the techs at Amazon and everything on their side of the "link" is correctly in place for my account to make the link work. I have spent approxiamately 4-5 hours on the phone with Sony to try and find the code that I need, with no result. I have tried numerous things to find this "code" and to get it to show itself, but no luck. Note that the "registration number" (not code) can be found easily under system info as well as MAC address and other information, but this is not the number I need. I am continuing to work this issue but I seem to be at a point that without further information and help from Sony, I feel I'm at a deadend. I have talked to at least six different "techs" at Sony who have tried, but have been unable to help. I hope this can be resolved, as I would very much like to use Amazon as a rental movie supplier. Thanks.

I think everyone interested in this should contact Amazon. At the moment, the response is that they will forward the request to the VOD team. The more they hear the same request, the more they may consider it. My email: This is just a kind request to offer Video on Demand on the LG BD570 player via Netcast. I realize that it's offered offered on BD670, but seeing as the 570 is still being sold (I purchased it less than a year ago), I think you can gain more customers. I am planning on cancelling my Netflix account and am considering VOD for myself. My mother is using the BD570 and I want to order a VOD service for her as well. According to the LG responses to this request, it's not their decision, but Amazon's. Most consumers are posing the request to LG, but you can see from the discussions on Amazon that this is something wanted. Amazon's response: Hello, Thanks for suggesting that we provide Amazon Instant Video content for LG BD570 Blu-ray Player. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the experience of watching our digital videos. I appreciate your thoughts and I have forwarded your suggestion to the Instant Video team.

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

I have the same product with same issue.And I was told that I need to update the firmware... Since I never get the chance to update, when I see the error I always format the SD card and reboot the device...But I will advice you to call Uniden customer support as well.
