Bought it to use with Netflix. EVERYWHERE it seems to say that it is compatible. You do not find out that it is feature that is coming in the future until you hook it up and try it.
ReplyDeleteSending it back tomorrow.
Love the comments from the other people that says it is everywhere. Have ANY of you even seen the box? No where to be found on it.
and here is the MAIN part about the player from amazon. Other places on the page it says it is coming (like in fine print under a picture and such), but far down the page but in 5 other places it says that it plays netflix, youtube, ... NO DISCLAIMER.

In addition to playing Blu-ray Discs and DVDs, the Sony BDP-N460 streams one of the largest collections of premium and free on-demand entertainment from the BRAVIA Internet Video platform, including thousands of movies, TV programs, and music from from over 25 leading content providers--including YouTube, Slacker, and Netflix. Simply connect the BDP-N460 to your existing Internet connection
DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU EXPECT NETFLIX ANY TIME SOON. If it were anywhere close to being available, they would have a date. They lauch a product in Fall of 2009 and they are adding a new feature Fall of 2009 but can say exactly when?

The player is fine, with no "cons" yet except the remote....
ReplyDeleteI've owned three BD players, one HD to date, and this has by far the worst remote I've seen. I've seen better remotes on $39 DVD players with no name. No eject button either? Sony, I know you could do better. This one will never see the light of day again, its in the draw for you til I get the streaming Oppo!

I am really disappointed that this isn't wireless. The placement in my room would have me running 15ft. of ethernet cable to get this service running. I decided to just continue to use my roku box instead but this was one of the reasons I bought this player in the first place. Otherwise, picture is good and is easy to set up.

Sony Bravia-Sync made it VERY easy to hook up the Sony BDP-N460 to my Sony Bravia KDL-32XBR6 HDTV. I used Mediabridge HDMI and Ethernet Cables (from Amazon).
ReplyDeleteThe Mediabridge cables came in cardboard boxes that were easy to open and recyclable. Both the Sony BDP-460 and the Sony KDL-32XBR are Energy-Star rated.
Sony recommends buying a Sony USM2GL external memory to "to enjoy additional content (such as BONUS VIEW/BD-LIVE) on certain Blu-ray Disc titles".
It was VERY easy to set up Amazon Video-On-Demand, but it is much easier to search Amazon Videos-On-Demand using a computer than it is to use the "search" function on the Sony BDP-N460. After using a computer to find the video that I wanted to watch, the video was VERY easy to play on the Sony BDP-N460.
The 'search" function on the Sony BDP-N460 uses an onscreen keyboard that is like a touch-tone telephone dial. When searching, you cannot enter more than 19 characters, including spaces. This seems to be a major fault that hopefully will be corrected soon. The onscreen keyboard also does not include some characters that I have used in my various passwords.
YouTube is particularly awkward when using the Sony BDP-N460. Sony should adopt the 15 year old technology used in WebTV and MSNTV2 units. The Sony remote already has all of the right buttons.
Since writing my review of this product, I tried to use it to access Netflix. To activate the Netflix streaming feature, Netflix requires that BOTH one's computer AND one's Sony BDP-N460 be connected to the internet at the same time. This requires a router, which I do not have. I cancelled my Netflix account. Amazon Video-On-Demand DOES NOT require that both one's computer AND Sony BDP-N460 be connected at the same time. I had no problem activating Amazon Video-On-Demand.
After canceling my Netflix account, I tried to contact Netflix by email to tell them why I cancelled my account. I could not find any way to contact Netflix by email, so I had to call the Netflix Customer Service number. I dread calling ANY Customer Service phone number, as this usually requires a long time on hold and then having to try to figure out what Gupta Rao or Babu Khan is nattering on about.
Netflix Customer Service answered instantly, and I am quite certain that I spoke to a normal American, who told me that he could activate my Netflix account over the phone. It might have been nice if the Netflix website also mentioned that people who do not have routers could call Netflix Customer Service to have their account activated.
One can only wonder how many potential customers Netflix has lost because of this. I have since watched Netflix with no problems of any kind.
