talk to me exactly what you get,,,,,,, got a Sony BR connected to net,,, maybe I am missing something ?
Depends on which model you have. I have a Panny G20 and a Sony S570 - both bought at the same time. The BRP has fully YouTube functionality, can connect to my home network and stream all sorts of media etc.Basically, all the SMART functionality that a TV has, will also be available with a BR Player. So if you want all the web browsing or other SMART functions of the latest TV's, you can pick up the BR Player for £100+ rather than paying £1000s for the TV.
Also if you have a G20, then you can use Viera Link to control the BRP and so only need one control.

Thanks for that... maybe I need to just up date my BR player as mine is the 550......
Hmmmm lots to think about, but the more reading I do the Android based boxes the more I am thinking there is a long term cost saving on TV packages
Yeah, depends what you've already got, what you want how much you want to spend.Hmmmm lots to think about, but the more reading I do the Android based boxes the more I am thinking there is a long term cost saving on TV packages

Many androids about however I went for the minix as they have a forum with latest firmware etc and if you get stuck plenty info on there.
Mine is via hdmi arc connection to amp, router ia about 25 ft away with 2 walls in between and it streams perfectly.
By the way if you get one make sure you get a remote with the keyboard at the back for it.

You could always spend more and get a full on mini PC, it can fasten to the back of the TV.
