This should work. However, this specific piece was probably defected and I ended up returning it and buying this: BlueRigger Bundle - Premium Mini DisplayPort (Mini DP) to HDMI Female Adapter + HDMI Cable - 10 Feet

Douglas - what is your video output on your laptop - DVI, Mini DVI, VGA, SVideo etc. If it is MiniDVI and you have HDMI input on TV this product will work. I have also purchased a MiniDvi to HDMI adapter - this works if you have HDMI cable on hand.

gojo Well, I can tell you that I talked to Panasonic and you will have to hard player to something in order for it to go online. You will need an ethernet adapter with LAN cable. This is what you would use to play games, so they are called internet wireless bridge, or adapter bridge. Just make sure you can use a LAN cable with it since there are no other options on player. Check out other threads concerning this too. They mention types of adapters to use. Val

I doubt it. I was never able to get the device to work. I gave up on it and hooked an HDMI cable to my laptop instead. With a wireless keyboard and mouse I've been able to watch shows on Netflix and purchase others on Amazon

Hi there, I bought a ROKU unit that uses wi-fi or direct plugin from your Internet source. The ROKU then provides access to Netflix, HULU and hundreds of other choices. Simple to use, and comes with handheld controller. Good luck and enjoy the awesome image quality from your new tv!

You need an HDMI cable. Hook one end up to the player and the other end up to the TV. Follow the instructions that came with the player to access NETFLIX, Amazon or whatever it is that you wish to stream to the TV. I

It depends. Your laptop will need to have an output compatible with one of the available TV's inputs.

The antenna would connect to your television. The Panasonic DMP-BBT01 would also connect to your television and act as a player. If you have access to high speed internet and wifi, the player also has wifi connectivity so that you could watch Amazon or Netflix movies.

I just bought this same model. Very nice. very easy. make sure the tvis connected to the internet. have your computer standing by and have netflix open and logged in. press the viera cast button on the remote and open netflix, it should promt and give you a code. on your computer, click "my account & help" (upper right). scroll down to "watching instantly on your tv or computer" find the link "actvate a netflix ready device" and open it. it will ask you to enter the code you were given by your tv. enter and setup will proceed automatically. enjoy.

I connected a Mac mini directly to the TV using the VGA cable. I logged into Netflix. I clicked on an instant play movie. I was asked to install the Silverlight plugin, which I did. And then voila! It worked perfectly. This should work just as well with any Intel-based computer. Now if I could only figure out how to connect the TV to the computer wirelessly.

Yes I needed this to access my netflix and the other apps. Some of th Smart tvs may have built in wifi but as I said I needed this. My tv is also in the room where my computor and dsl wireless is so if it was built in it should have picked the dsl wirless easly. Hope this helps

Add to my previous response that component your need is referred to as a "dongle".

It doesn't work for me either, but I am just using the splitter so I can connect my laptop to my TV and my computer monitor to watch movies on Netflix and it works great. I keep my laptop on a docking station. My 40" TV even works fine as a computer monitor when I want a big screen, so the splitter works for my situation for what I want it to do.

Tamara, there is a Music Port, which could be used to hook up a tv through it. The music port is for a 3.5mm jack that a traditional mp3 player uses, think the small headphone jacks. But I have my tv hooked up through the same jack. Your tv probably has rca jacks, so you'll need an rca red/white audio to a single 3.5mm jack converter cable. look at monoprice online, you can get that there and a long 3.5mm cable to run to the panasonic stereo. you should be able to get the converter cable and the 25 foot long cable, or whatever lenght you need, for under ten bucks shipped. the interesting thing is that using the music port even allows you to record audio from tv programs.

I have a 10 year old Toshiba big screen and I bought the Sony Blue-Ray to watch Netflix. Works perfectly.
