Says a Network Download Is Required. Does this mean my TV must be connected to internet? I have no wireless adapter for TV.

Yes. It requires an internet connection. I believe that if you are using a TV that uses these glasses it is a 2012 model and has a built in wireless adapter.

My TV is not internet enabled, as my apple TV and Sony bluray is, so I couldn't see the advantage. The glasses work fine without any download required for my arrangement. We really enjoy the 3D when we want to use it. It has restored my pleasure in new movies. We had pretty much stopped watching much regular stuff.

You don't need the updates for your TV if it uses these glasses. These are Bluetooth rfs which came out for the 2012-2013 lineups. All you do is give it the initial charge. Make sure your TV is set to auto find in your settings, them hold the switch over for 3 seconds. Enjoy. Try looking around your settings. I was surprised to find wifi in my tv thinking i had to buy a separate adaptor to use it.

You might need a firmware update for your TV. Most TVs with that support this allow it through multiple means, including via USB stick. Check your TV's user manual or consult the manufacturer's website. You might also check to see if you can plug an ethernet cable into it.

I assume so because my TV and DVD player are both internet enabled so the glasses worked immediately. If I were you, however, I would not get into the current 3D technology because it is not good enough at this point to be worth the cost. It may take a few years to be worth it. I wouldn't have bought the glasses had I known it. Even my 9 and 7 year olds lost interest in 3D after one or two movies.

Not sure where the quote comes from but a network connection is not required to charge eyeware. You can charge glasses by connecting to tv via usb cable supplied or, though not recommended, through a usb port on your computer or through a usb transformer to a wall electrical outlet.

The Unit requires the provided software and thus probably excludes it from the TV. One alternative is to install the s/w on a laptop (as I did) and then hook to your television using an HDMI or Serial port. Also, the unit comes with a USB plug and thus the Television would have to receive it. some TV's do and some don't, but the software is a requirement. It would be nice to be a plug and play but no dice. Otherwise, the unit is fun for the price. We use ours about once a quarter to explore stuff. The kids get a kick out of seeing things blown up. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't need a network connection, you can stream data directly from your computer. The problem for me is I loose internet connection when I connect to this device, there may be a way to keep both connection I just haven't figured it out yet. I use it to connect my computer to my TV, just follow the instructions by downloading the software to your computer or smart phone and then you are connected.Oh yah... you can choose the mirror or extension icon to connect to your TV but I found it sometimes emits static or I loose sound all together. I recommend using the video icon to connect, for me it works seamlessly. No it doesn't need a network connection, you can stream data directly from your computer.

No, it is not internet enabled. You can connect a HDMI cord to your computer and plug it in to you TV and stream it that way.

It connects from computer to TV. The TV does not have to have wifi. If you have an HDMI cable out from your computer (or whatever output your computer has) it connects to a matching input on your TV.

Yes, you just need an adapter(dongle) to connect to USB on TV. Then just follow the steps to search to WiFi and connect

Roku needs a wifi connection on the computer & if you have that you could connect to Netflix or other sites without Roku. Roku is really to connect to a TV to be able to download over wifi connection, but it should work on a computer.

What about Wi-Fi? Does this T.V. come WiFi ready out of the box? Or do we have to buy a WiFi adapter in order to access the Samsung Internet Apps?

I have connected my KDL-46XBR9 to the Internet via a wireless bridge. My network schema: TV ---- Zyxel P-330W - - - Linksys WRT54G2 --- Internet You can play Internet video, download Yahoo! widgets and access local DLNA servers (Windows Media Center works - but not for all media types). Cannot surf the Internet though. See these videos to get a better idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z7QF-tRaac&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHndiAZtyyY

The TV is advertised as "WiFi Ready", not "WiFi Built in". What that means is that it does not have WiFi without a WiFi adapter that you have to buy separately. I plug my Panasonic directly into an Ethernet router. That works great. I can stream movies directly from providers like Netflix and Amazon. But since I have never had a need to get an adapter I have never used one. I suspect it would work like my Ethernet cable. Plug it in one of the USB ports, log-on to your wireless router, hit the Internet button on the controller and your good to go. Here is a sample adapter: Panasonic TY-WL20U Wireless Adapter for Panasonic 2012 Internet Ready TVs

Not directly through the tv, you need roku, Apple tv, or some streaming device, there's no built in WiFi

I looked through the owners manual and I don't believe this TV has wireless capabilities, which you would need to have Netfilx on it. You might need to look at getting some type of add on device or a wireless capable DVD player. That's how I got Netflix on my TV.

Hello, I am sorry I am not sure. You should be able to download additional apps on your tv with wi fi?

Just plug link stick into a USB port and turn on the Internet with your remote, if that dosnt work turn on your co mounter and try again, maybe your TV is not set up for the Internet

Yes, it does not enable wifi to your tv. It just connect to the ethernet port of your tv. The only Requirement is you have ethernet port on your tv. It is not a wifi dongle or adapter

The set is wifi "READY" but requires a purchase of part TY-WL20U WIRELESS ADAPTER for around $131.00 on Amazon hope it helps the only other option is to use a CAT5 cable and plug directly into the TV via the network port to hook to the Internet

You need to have a wifi router of some kind if you want to connect to anything. However, there is a USB port. You might try hooking up a USB hub or something, and run a conventional wired network instead. I have not tried that. I generally hang this off a television (literally) and hook up a mouse to the USB port. Then I can watch things like Youtube and Netflix with it.
