Sondek,

I've never had any experience with networks of any kind, and think I'm only beginning to understand a bit about the use of a Blu-ray to retrieve Netflix movies. -Comments will be partially conjectural,..

The Blu-ray player only has the ability to receive the properly formatted data stream from the network, not act as a browser.

My understanding is that To watch a Netflix streamed movie, I would need a computer and router- wired with an Ethernet cable or WI-Fi wireless. If wireless, the router needs to be of certain bandwidth- Mb per second, and protocols/formats. To watch a movie, it's necessary to use the browser on the computer from which the signal will pass through to go to the Netflix site. You select a movie that is in the download list and I think press a button on the listing that says "PLAY". After that selection, a screen on the computer informs that the movie is ready to play. I then walk into the room where the Blu-ray player and TV are, the Blu-ray will display on the TV a Netflix icon, that icon will say something like "There's a movie that's been waiting for you hours to come in here and press "PLAY", or select the icon and await directions. When the movie is running, it may be stopped, rewound, fast forwarded, slow motioned, and so, all from the Blu-ray remote.

Or, something like that,..

Cheers,

Bambi B
