Not sure what your error is, just got mine today and did an update. netflix was fine. I got netflix to work on my old ps3, wii and now this. Setup is awkward where you have to get info from your blu-ray player and look onto the computer, back and forth, but I got it done and it works fine. The PS3 layout is way better, you can search for movie, here all you get is what is in your queue.

Hi Craig: i need clarification. If it is hooked up to a bluray, then it follows the movie settings that you have listed? what if i am watching regular tv, do i set it on "standard", and what are the settings? thanks.

Thanks, Grumpy Jay! About 70% of my movie list is classic movies, so that's perfect! And I'm very interested in checking out the British line, too. Woohoo!I don't yet have an HD TV. Hopefully I'll get one this year, but it's on the back burner for now. I'm assuming the Roku HD Player will work even w/o HD TV, right? And I have to have wireless, I'm guessing, which I do.Thanks again, Everyone! I really appreciate all the input!CJ

I'm probably going to cancel my order and go with a Blu-Ray player... also can then try to find a model that will meet 2.0 profile (as it appears this unit will clearly not) from the specs that have now been made available

Thanks so much for the quick reponse.How good is the quality of the movies over the internet? Does the blu ray player hook up to the net and if so is it wireless? Or are you talking about renting movies thru the mail in blu ray.I'm trying to avoid the mail rentals since my family tends to misplace them.

I would like to know this too! I have a ton of movies on my computer, and I would like something that can play them on the TV.

Not really the majority of these device you need to configure it with servers... to get everything free... for example if you want I can set one up and sell it but will be around 300 with all latest movies from theater and a few live channels .. usually updates everyday so you wont miss the new movies in theater.. with no extra cost

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

We played all movies that were purchased from a store in the US and they worked fine. :) Anything from Disney to star wars, to comedy, etc. Never had any issues with it not reading them.

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

I did try it, but when I do set up the TV screen displays "General setup page". I did follow your instructions and I still cannot view movies that I purchased in France and Italy since my main purpose is to view movies from Europe...Can you help?

Yes, but you need to access the internet to do this. There are a couple low cost options. Either use gaming system (Xbox/PS3) or you can now get a pretty good DVD or Blu Ray player with built-in wireless that comes with Netflix and other streaming video services installed for under $125.00 Connect either to the TV via HDMI cable (just get the $6 on Amazon) and you are good to go!

There is a Vudu channel, and I was able to add it and browsed their movie catalog. I haven't used it yet though, there is so much else I already have with Amazon Prime and other channels that I haven't needed it. It seemed a bit pricy to me, but I guess you pay for convenience. However, it won't do 1080P, which seems to be a big part of the reason to use Vudu, since the LT can't support that. So any movies you stream would be in SD instead.

You could do this on this device. Just keep in mind that downloading movies is a violation of law . If you still do this, make sure your TV has a compatible USB port on it somewhere, and refer to your user manual on how to connect to the USB device.
