We've had a Samsung BluRay DVD now for 3+ years that, in theory, is suppose to connect to a wireless network and stream NetFlix, Hulu, Pandora, etc..
After all these years of not caring that it couldn't connect to the network, my wife brought up the idea of getting a subscription to NetFlix..
But after hours and hours of trying, and searching the web, and finding out this is a known issue for this "old" model Samsung.. unless you set it your Wireless network to "no security" . um, yea that ain't happening.. I've thrown in the towel...
So.... trying to decide if we should get a new BluRay DVD player with built in WiFi and Apps.. There are many highly rated ones at Amazon for around $100
Get Roku 3 for $100, which many seem to like and don't seem to have the same network connection issues.
or
Get a Google Chromecast for $35... Same type of "easy setup" reviews.... We have a Windows Tablet, a couple Windows notebooks, as well as I have a Samsung Galaxy phone from which I could stream from.
So what says the FFA?
