Roku beats out Sony disc player!!
I've been struggling for literally years now trying to get my Sony BDPS3200 Blu-ray Disc Player to stream Netflix, but it almost always choked, sputtered, and came to a grinding halt. I tried everything, new modem, new router, clearing cache, etc. etc. You probably know what I'm talking about. I was considering upgrading the disc player, but wasn't really keen on spending the money when the disc player I have works fine for discs. I finally decided to go this route. Awesome!! Roku plays it all, and for only $30 bucks, I have zero reason to complain, since I'm now have zero technical problems with streaming content. Yay!!! I should add here that my older-model CRT-type HD TV only has a single HDMI input, so the Roku is hooked up to an HDMI 3-way spllitter. This allows me ro run the Roku box, my disc player, and occasionally hook my camera up without having to plug and unplug cables. I use a wireless router to get the broadband signal from modem to Roku box.
