Electronics Just got a BluRay player with YouTube capability

**jAZ** · 11-28-2009, 10:44 AM

I'm pretty excited. It also has Netflix and Pandora Radio functionality.

I've noticed that with a lot of videos (seemingly it's always an official music video as opposed to an official concert video clip) you get the messages:

"unable to receive the url information for the movie site"

Has anyone ever tried used the YouTube feature and gotten the same error?

I see the (obvious) speculation that it's copyright issues. But the exact same clip is visible through the web just fine. And other copyrighted stuff is visible through the TV just fine.

Anyone know the issue?

What did you get?

I need to buy one once my 50 inch 1080P arrives and I wanted the netflix functionality. It's between that or setting up a media center PC.

I have a LG BD370 and both Netflix and Youtube work well, as does the BluRay playback. Just got a BD270 for the bedroom and it works great too.

Amazon had the BD370 for $139 with free shipping the other day...

Not bad, I'll have to look into it. The only one I could find was this one and it was $189 on Ebay.

I know the Xbox and the PS3 now both do Bluray and Netflix, so that would be another option.

I bought the Samsung BD-P3600 (includes wifi adapter that the P1600 lacks + 1 GB internal memory). Paid $229 at Best Buy.

I hooked it up to my amp and that lets me run the pandora radio without the TV being on. It's great.

Netflix is pretty cool, but I long for the day when the full catalog is available by streaming. YouTube is pretty cool because I load a lot of videos of the kid up there and now we can watch them on the TV really easily.

Go with the HTPC & never look back.

I'd buy one of those, but then I'd have to hire someone to operate it for me.

I've stayed away from the blu-ray excitement. To me it's not worth it at all. Though I am happy that blu-ray is here because dvd's can be had for $2.

FWIW, the PS3 can handle all of those as well.

I wasn't aware there were Blu Ray Players that could do this until now. When I buy one, I will definitely want it Netflix compatible.
