I have mine set up with an Apple TV and an Xbox One. Both are great for streaming media. I have also had it set up with a Roku, but I have since moved that to another TV.

I think this device will not help you like cable boxes or smart media/dvd player boxes. Unless you find an apps that will connect you to local programs. This device is very similar to a tablet that's missing a screen so you have to connect to a tv. Try looking for an app in google play for tv program player may help. You can subscribe to Hulu Plus, Netflix and such through device and never had any problem with streaming video.

You can upload content on the micro SD card slot that is available and play it while connected via USB. Otherwise you'll need a wifi connection for other streaming functions

You can access you tube and a few other. Services, not Netflix or Amazon. It is terrific at playing video files from a hard drive or streamed from your base computer. You can insert a hard drive inside of it as well as plug in 2 other hard drives and a flash drive. If you want to access netflix, amazon, spot iffy, etc., your best bet is roku 3 which is the most perfect device ever made for streaming video, music, or anything. There is no competition. I have them all, trust me!

No. You have to get a Roku streaming stick. A streaming stick like aroku 3400m. you don't need the player. I have not bought the stick yet but that is all you need

Netflix, Xfinity, amazon prime all work fine for me. Probably the other people have network issues and not the devices fault. I also play tons of different video types using my local network. (using Es File Explorer)

It can play videos from SD Card and USB. It doesn't have built in UPnP so you would have to use another device to stream. I personally use a PlayStation 3 or Chrome cast.

We have used our dvd player as our streaming unit. Our tv did not have streaming capabilities. Hope this was helpful.

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.

Sorry, but you cannot surf the entire internet with this Blu-Ray player. It has Samsung apps and so you can do some internet-based things (Pandora, MOG, Vudu, Netflix, a limited version of Youtube), but there is no ability to surf the entire net with it. Sadly. Wish there was, though. I have one of these Blu-Ray players and some of the apps are great (youtube, MOG, Vudu and some others). Some of the apps are next to worthless. All in all, though, a great player.

No problem getting Netflix. Works well. All and all, this is a great streamer, especially if you have a lot of content on your HD. It will play almost all formats, including a lot which other units don't. For me this was the main factor for purchasing.

All streaming video that I have tried so far works great but I do not have a Netflix account so I can not answer from personal experience as it is entirely possible that they may have a "block" on the output. It works fine with Crackle, Hulu, DroidTv(PVR), YouTube, and iMediaShare.

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

I don't know if it is the "best" option, but it is a very nice blu-ray player that streams netflix and amazon, easily syncs with a Samsung TV, is highly rated and has an affordable price. I am extremely happy with mine!

As far as I've been able to find out. You cannot get amazon movies using this player. I know there are quite a few movie apps including Netflix & Blockbuster and some others, but Amazon is definitley not one of them. Hope this helps.

Sorry, no streaming content I find other than BD Live. You'll need Roku or other compatible device (get the wireless hd roku if you want to move it around the house (room to room) with you, roku seems to work well for me but you do need good internet connection.

As a blue ray player this works just fine, But for any streaming (youtube netflix ext) I would get another device for that. I experience constant freezing/pausing and its really slow to bootup. I just got a amazon firestick for 40 bucks and I am much more happy with that.
