Hooked on a feeling

I was fully up to date and running within 30 minutes. My house is prewired so it was incredibly easy for it to find the network and update the firmware. The N460 has a ton of network features beyond You Tube, Netflix, and Amazon VOD. Slacker Radio is very cool as are NPR Radio features. Some other features are not yet active but will only enhance content in the future. The blu-ray picture quality is fantastic watched Up, my wife was happy! Not sure how good of a job it does with upconversion so can t rate that. Now I just need my subwoofer for full theater experience. All in all, I did a lot of research too much and just bit the bullet as my other Sony products have treated me well. Best Buy has it for 199 with a free blu ray so very comparable to Amazon price. We ve had this unit up and working hooked on a feeling 24 hours now, and we re having a blast. It took about 5 minutes to get the automatic firmware upgrade, and about 2 more to register the unit online. We were watching a movie 5 minutes after that. We are on a 5 mbs DSL line, and our movies stream without interruption, and with excellent picture quality. I don t know how to tell if I m getting HD or not we are still on a standard satellite rig, but the picture is better than I am getting out of my conventional DVD s. The Netflix is GREAT. Youtube works, but it s difficult to search for anything specific. Slacker internet radio is terrific, with limited commercials. WE NEED HULU! If they ll get Hulu on this gadget, I ll drop my satellite immediately. So this is my first experience with Netflix enabled devices, and I m not sure how it could be done better. I know there are other choices, including LG TV s, and standalone boxes like the ROKU. I ended up with this hooked on a feeling I got a great bargain with a new Sony LCD. Combining the reputation of quality with Sony, and the ease I had making this work, well, Sony is hard to beat, again. We had Roku and loved it but our dvd player needed replacing so we found Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player. We are hard hooked on a feeling into the player so you would think things would run smoothly.
