Barlow I have had the Samsung BD-C5500 Blu-ray player for about a week now and I absolutely love it. It was very easy to setup and worked perfectly right out of the box. It's smaller in size than the DVD player it is replacing but noticeably heavier. It starts up quickly and loads Blu-ray discs quickly too. The buttons on the front of the player are touch sensitive and don't give the user any tactile feedback so sometimes it's hard to tell if you have pushed them or not but at the same time they are cool and have a cutting-edge appeal. Some people have mentioned that they don't care for the remote but I find it to be very adequate and easy to use. I like the larger size of the buttons since I have big hands. The remote seems to work well at different angles and distances as well. When I first hooked up the player it did a firmware update and about a week later it notified me that there was a newer firmware and again did an update It's comforting to see that Samsung is actively working to improve the device's firmware by releasing updates frequently if needed. I didn't know what issues/features the firmware updates were addressing because the UI on the player doesn't really tell you but Samsung does list what the firmware updates change/fix on their website. The device didn't have any problems connecting to my home network using a CAT-5 cable. It doesn't bother me a bit that this player doesn't support wi-fi out of the box. In my experience wi-fi is very susceptible to interference from other devices such as microwaves, cordless phones, and other wi-fi routers so using it to stream a high-definition movie could be problematic when you decide to pop some popcorn during the show or if someone calls you on your cordless phone. You always get a better streaming performance CAT-5 Moreover, it is much cheaper than the players that have wi-fi built in. I have used this player to stream content from Netflix instant my Netflix queue. Before having seen this player a lot of Netflix streaming content from your computer, but see it in HDTV using this player has been much more convenient and sounds better on the home system's audio to the speakers of the computer. Streaming works great and I have not seen it skip frames or stop to re-buffer stream. It takes a little longer to buffer flow at the start of play than my computer does, but after a wait of 15-20 seconds is good to go, so it's not a big deal. I have spoken with people who flow through Netflix PS3 or XBOX and they told me it takes about the same amount of time to buffer on the systems and I imagine other Blu-ray flux that Netflix would have similar performance. Some of the content streaming Netflix will broadcast in 720p resolution that looks and sounds a great thing to note is that this player will only see the titles you added to your instant queue on the Netflix site. You can not use the player to look for different content and add it to your queue. This has not been very uncomfortable for me but may bother some people. I really like the fact that I can put titles on the instantaneous queue for my children to watch and they can not navigate around the Netflix player by accident and find adult content in the process. Streaming music through Pandora was great. The Pandora application works well and has a good interface. You can give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down, but only while the music is playing. It would be great if you could return the list of songs that have played recently and give them the thumbs up or thumbs down after they have played as you can on the Pandora site, but that's not how it works, unfortunately. The quality of the sound seems very good and the time taken to buffer the music is not even noticeable, we have really had to have a device that can use.
