does the t.v. need to be plugged into the internet in order for this download to work?I did like you said, but no luck :(

No your tv doesn't need to be hooked up to the net. Did you try some youtube videos? That's a good place for "show and tell" type of helpful how to's.Let me know how you make out.

This seems to be an ongoing problem with Sony. My older blu-ray (BDP-N460) had a lot of difficutly streaming NetFlix. And now with this player YouTube is hardly running. Sony tech support claims that it could be that the newer model does not have all of the updates like my older player does.

I've never had a problem until the last month when I realized I couldn't play Skyfall and frankenweenie because newer discs are unsupported. I don't think there has been an firmware update for this model since 2011, so the possibility of having a firmware upgrade to rectify this problem is slim.

My Sony BDP-s550 just stopped playing blu-ray discs as well. I tried to upgrade the firmware but that failed. Sony support couldn't help me to get it working either. I ended up throwing it in the trash. This was very frustrating. I will definitely not buy another Sony blu-ray player.

I just uploaded the 2.6 firmware on my BD-P1500 player. I was having issues with the new release of Sherlock Holmes. After the upgrade it is still jumping on the same scenes, after 3 bluray disc exchanges. Does anyone know if the new version will be out soon. Samsung said they usually come out every 3 months with new firmware updates.

Yes it is firmware upgradeable but if you do that you will cause the player not to play all the blu-ray regions. Was told not to do a firmware upgrade on mine or lose playing all the regions on the blu-rays.

Do not upgrade the firmware if you have no problem with the player. Many users told their players freezed after updated. You'd better backup your current firmware before upgrading the new ones. You may visit Samsung's website read it carefully then you may manually download the latest firmware to the usb or directly to your player from the rj-45 wire from your Internet router to the rear(LAN)plugin of the player or wireless to player. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/BD-P3600

There are two ways to get the firmware for this unit. The fastest is of course to download it from Samsung.com. However, if you have the model and serial number of your player you can request Samsung send you a disk. It's simply a burned disk with the firmware already on it but it will work just the same. I realize sometimes Samsung tech support leaves something to be desired as far as customer service, but it all depends who you get. Some of the agents are better than others. Most of the agents and supervisors I've dealt with are very nice and helpful, of course you always have the bad apples. Anyway, I do recommend making sure you actually need the firmware before you get it, because if you install firmware you don't need it's my understanding it does more harm than good.

I totally agree about reverting back to the previous stable version. At this point, it would be in Panasonic's best interest to keep us happy and revert back to V1.27 immediately!. I spoke with a rep today. Because the Panasonic BD players are designed to not allow downgrade to a previous (lower numbered) version of the firmware, I suggested their engineering department consider renaming the stable V1.27 to V1.44 and put it on their servers NOW. This would enable our Netflix-crippled machines to revert back to the previous version until they can fully test their new firmware.

You should wait like me because blue ray players with profile 1.0 and 1.1 wont be able to play future discs. Since blue ray is coming out with 2.0 players later this year, newer disc will need the technical specs of the newer players. I was in the market on buying a blue ray player as well but then i read this http://www.cooltidbits.net/2008/01/before-you-buy-blu-ray-player-read-this.html

I actually work for sharp and that model is actually coming out in january of 2009. The 21u just recently came out for the holidays. Anyone who is looking at buying a sharp blu ray player i would advise to carefully think about it. The Sony blu ray players do not have to have any firmware updates compared to our sharp products that do. We have had 3 firmware updates come out since february. These are a big pain for anyone who isn't computer/tv savey. I would reccomend someone buy a sony blu ray over sharps any day. Tv's on the other hand are a totally different story

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

yes, bd-rom does play blu-ray. i had 2 bought at different times so not sure if this one had the software for the codac to playblu-ray. its setup to do that but u might need to buy the cyberlink powerdvd 13 which gives u the proper info to make your player do the blu-ray properly. I found out that i needed it for one of the bd-rom players! one had the software enclosed, one didnt.This is good drive, All BD-roms blu-ray ready. I have no trouble with drive now and bought the newer cyberlink-pwrdvd13 when found out the 12 did not allow my blu-ray to work decoding the info on blu-ray discs.

Thanks R. Oxhorn and Noaxtogrind. You asked and answered my question. Just got the Samsung BD5700 for a gift and hope Samsung does update the Blu-ray to access Amazon's streaming.

You're lucky yours plays discs at all, or can update its firmware. My player stopped connecting (wi-fi or ethernet) or playing discs within 6 months. I spent hours on the phone with many different LG agents, and the conclusion was that they couldn't help me, and to write a customer complaint. I wrote 2 complaints via the website, and both were unanswered.

Firmware upgrade are required. Some BDs have features that require specific firmware to access. This is one of the reasons I replaced mine. Least favorite player to date.

I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D. My BDP-BX57 gives me the message that it cannot play 3D movies with this player. Why did I buy this 3D player again, not to mention the glasses, the DVD, and the 3D compatible TV? Sony's web site indicated that a "future" firmware update will enable 3D DVD playback. WHEN is this going to occur? And does SONY believe I would have purchased this player if I knew the product was not a functional 3D player, despite it's labeling? So I guess now I have to wait months for the product to be corrected, or spend more money hoping the next product won't be fraudulently marketed.Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray Disc Player, 3D-ready with built-in WI-FI
