Does Not Work With HULU
585365
I've had this TV for two years now.  We ditched cable and were excited for a smart TV.  The problem is the HULU app does not work correctly.  The first few months, everything ran fine.  Then last year, intermittently, a program would restart after a commercial break.  After a long back-and-forth with the tech support for Vizio and Hulu- eventually cutting and pasting their tech chat replies to each other- Hulu stopped blaming the TV and gave me 2 free months of service.  Seeing as how only the Hulu app has problems and all other apps work fine, and that Hulu works fine on all my other devices, it is clear this is a poorly designed app.  Now, instead of restarting a program, occasionally (at least once a day) when you get to a commercial break the app crashes and you're back to a black screen.  Also, some programs don't always show up in my watch list and I have to search for them in the search bar in order to watch them.  I should have bought a dumb TV and a Fire stick.

Good picture, decent sound for built-in speakers, but:
Buyer beware!!  This "smart" TV does not have program settings for Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus streaming video!!  If you want to watch programs over these very popular services, you will have to add on a Roku, PS3, XBox, or other streaming device at additional cost, so now the price for the TV isn't so great.  Sharp should be more up-front about this limitation.

Very disappointed. I bought the Mac version and I cannot get it to work. The promos say it should transfer files to USB devices, including external drives - not for me. It's supposed to cast movies to DLNA TV sets. My E-series Vizio can see the program but no file is streamed. I can't even get it to convert an .ISO file to .MP4. This is a total waste of money and my time. I'd like to get a refund but I doubt Wondershare will give me one. I'll go back to using Toast.

This device works great and is a cheap way to get internet video and audio content on to your t.v. but I would not buy this if I were you.  I was under the delusion that this device would allow me to surf the web just like a PC.  It will not.  I also thought I could access any media on the web with this device but it will not do that either.  This device will only access content that is licensed to Roku.  The Roku website will tell you that they have Hulu and Netflix access which sounds great until you actually look for a movie that is worth watching.  I think the blockbuster movie available on Netflix last month (January 2012) was True Grit (a great movie) but the selection plunges from there.  Most of the other movies are the direct to video variety or are old 80's movies like Ghostbusters 2...and no, Ghostbusters 1 is not available.  The kids cartoon movies has Toy Story 3 as an option but the remainder are cartoons from what looks like foreign country productions where english voices were overdubbed onto the movie.  Hulu has a great selection of TV shows if you like sitcoms.  Otherwise their content is as equally unappealing as Netflix content.  Oh, and you have to pay for Hulu and Netflix with a monthly subscription.  The remaining free content on Roku consists of a ton of religious channels, foreign news channels (India, China, Middle East, etc) and tons of crap labled "Indie Content" which is where film school flunkies must go to die.  For all the effort I went through to do an end-around on my cable provider, I find myself with even more channels, more crap and less interesting things to watch than I had with cable which is simultaneously amazing and frustrating.  The $100 a month I am saving by NOT paying my cable provider will be offset by my medical bills to repair my exploding head when the frustration has become too much to bear.

Item works intermittently, Roku support no help at all.

Both adapters threw HDCP errors,so trying to use these with a roku (or other device that uses HDCP) won't work. Luckily, I have other uses for these, but I really expected 'HDMI compliant' to mean HCDP support. Seems like some other reviews have working adapters, maybe I just got some bad ones.

The channels, other than the main ones like Netflix, You Tube, Amazon, etc, are terrible. All the same bad unheard-of movies, all the same ads inserted randomly without warning. Google Play is supposedly represented, but even though it will let me rent by way of my Roku, the Roku will not play the movie- a total waste of effort and money. Could not find any operating customer support on line, so I just gave them a bad review on their site and another one here. Not impressed. Not terrible for Netflix and such, but the rest of the thing is just a waste.

I thought I'd be able to stream Hulu/Netflix to my Kindle tablet/Samsung tablet/Samsung Galaxy cell phones and then mirror it onto the big screen.  It is NOT able to do this.  it does NOT work like a Chromecast dongle.

Warning - this WILL NOT work if you have an amplifier from the Cable Company. There is nothing in the listing about that.

I thought I was doing myself a favor by buying this unit so that I could watch Blu-Ray discs AND stream without an additional device. Not so.

I've been using a Roku 3 for some time now and enjoy it a lot. When I saw that the Sony Blu-ray had Wi-Fi and the ability to steam, I thought I'd hit the bulls-eye on a one unit solution. While it works well for services like Netflix and Hulu (plus several others) it works deplorably for Amazon. There are several shows we watch through Amazon Prime and since I still have to use my Roku 3 in order to see Amazon streaming content, I can only give the Sony player 3 stars.

The remote would not work on Hulu App. Once you opened the app, you couldn't navigate Back. Bad design. I'm returning this.

I cannot get Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime on the TV, not even through the search engine.
Also, the terms and conditions are in French even though I chose English as the language.
The main items I was looking for was Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime to get away from set top boxes hanging around. But made the wrong choice of a TV.
At times it asks to update the software to find Netflix and when I do it says that the software is up-to-date. Tried finding a link online for the update as well and nothing is showing as it does seem that I have the most  is up-to-date software indeed.
LG is a much better TV and has what is needed.

I have an Apple TV, but was encouraged by my sons to try Amazon Fire TV.  I was initially underwhelmed because I could not see anything that Amazon TV offered that Apple TV offered except for games.  It is harder to control purchases on your account with Amazon TV, so really watch your credit card purchases.  The voice search on the remote is really accurate but search function searches only in Amazon environment.  So, if you are in Hulu or Netflix, it will take you out of them and go to Amazon to complete the search. If you are not careful and click on the search destination, you'll pay extra. That's walking a tightrope!  Here's the reason I ultimately returned it:  I'm stuck at home on a snow day, and the Amazon TV cannot play any of shows, and keeps giving me the error message that there is a problem with playback of the video.  Yet, I can play the same videos on Hulu and Netflix from my iPad and from my computer without issue.  If you're looking for access to a lot of games this will help, but the frustration factor for other apps is not worth it!

I'm a career network engineer, and I cannot get this device to reliable produce audio from any of the three devices connected to it.  I've tried all new HDMI cables, I've tried all the devices (Roku3, DirecTV Genie Client, Sony BluRay Player), each device by itself, various combinations of 2 devices, and the only time I get any audio is randomly from the Roku3, but even that is completely inconsistent.  The manufacturer admits that some devices/TVs are simply not compatible.  There really needs to be a compatibility list in the description.  Otherwise, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not it will work with your devices.  Thankfully, Amazon accepted the return at no charge to me.

I'm very tech savvy, already own a roku 3, basically wanting this for my bedroom. Unit looked okay, couple of minor scrapes, handset needed pairing but worked fine. However, once the Roku was paired, wifi connected and updated - as it rebooted the roku home screen would come on and then disappear to a blank dark screen. I tried everything to make it work but there's something wrong with the software on the unit. I so wanted to be able to give this a good review but can't because it just doesn't work. Don't buy from this seller as they obviously don't test the equipment for compliance purposes. This is my first ever negative review on Amazon.
