The sales folk assured us that Sony had fixed it's failings, and they have a good return policy where we bought, so we gave Sony a second chance. It works beautifully, even with Netflix. Video streams properly via wifi, and the unit has remained responsive at all times. On blu-ray the machine responds to commands instantly. The remote is well designed and easy to use. As I recall, one concern we had with this unit was that Amazon streaming video was not advertised on the box. However, the unit does in fact support Amazon. All-in-all, the unit works as designed and desired. 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Unreliable performance with a bad screensaver design By Abhishek K. Gupta 1. The player often hangs (gets stuck in "See you" mode or "Welcome" mode) and the only way to get out of it is to pull the power plug 2. One must wait for few minutes after turning on the player and before accessing the Internet Content since otherwise the player does not connect to the Internet (wired or wireless) and often hangs 3. The background image, while one is using the payer and browsing trough options, is a poor design of mostly dark screen with a very bright know of an image on TV's center-right. This image is so bright - and appears so often while browsing - that when one switches away from the screen (by turning on a program) - this bright spot leaves an imprint on the screen that does not go away for a long time! A strict non-no for those with plasma screens and I am not sure if it is all that good for an LCD/Edge-lit-LED TV in the long run either. 4. The 'Photo' menu option is blank and does not have things like Picasa, Photobucket etc (as are available on most Sony TVs that have Internet option) Other than these issues, the player has a built in chip for VUDU movies so one could stream HD movies. The Blu Ray player works fine. Startup time is quick (if you have that option selected at startup). However, reliability is a big issue and I am constantly frustrated with its lack of responsiveness and teh slowness with which is re-acquires its Internet connectivity after being switched on. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. You need a fast N Router to have flawless streaming content By Souroosh Soheili I see that a number of reviewers here are disappointed with the wireless streaming content (ie Netflix). I had the same issue until I switched my wireless router. You need a good N router that is specifically optimized for streaming video. I replaced my router with a Vizio XRW100 and the bluray player works perfectly. See all 16 customer reviews...
