Rating :  - Blu-Ray and Netflix Get Thumbs-up - Other Streaming Not Ready For Primetime
I purchased the BDP N460 in early February 2010 and have had it seven months now.
Blu-Ray:
Movies seem almost as if you are looking through a window. The picture is amazing.
Netflix:
Functionality is great, in fact I utilize the Netflix streaming function more than anything else. I have only experienced a buffering stall one time and it was only a second or two. I have a 3 Mb cable internet package and have a wired connection from my router to the BDP.
YouTube:
Works fine, but the interface could use some polish - my husband likes to watch music videos on YouTube, but I find the interface clunky and annoying. Perhaps this can be improved with a future software update.
Amazon on Demand:
I have yet to try it. Signed up today and will update review after I get around to trying it.
Other streaming content:
I have looked at Epicurious and some of the other online streaming content. I think most of it is just "OK" because searching and navigation with a remote is cumbersome at best. I am sure there is plenty of interesting content, but finding it is too much of a chore. I suspect this is probably because streaming to television is still in its infancy. Hopefully, as streaming to TV becomes more mainstream, players and sites hosting content will update their interfaces to make it easier and more intuitive for users to to find relevant video content without the benefit of a keyboard and mouse.
