With holiday shopping in full swing I am looking into a blu ray player as a gift. Looks like in general they have come down considerably in price (and will continue with 3D players slowly coming out), but IMO a quality blu ray player should have netflix enabled and it should be able to connect via wifi. Looking through the list of players fairly quickly it seemed that so far only the LG BD 570 catches my eye as being the most reasonably priced. I am also assuming that, like DVD player, all blu...

It turns out that the message you may get saying: "Confirm your internet connection" is mis-leading. The problem turns out, has absolutely nothing to do with the internet connection. After all, the box will stream a movie from Netflix just fine, why wouldn't be able to get a connection when playing a disk? The problem is actually storage, you have to have a USB stick (or drive) plugged in and assign it as storage in order for the BD-Live to work. Also, I found out that the USB...
As I understand it, Best Buy (aka Insignia) has discontinued their mp3 player lines. Which is a shame. The pilot was the best bargain out there.

Don't get me wrong; it works great. But with other...

I jumped the gun today, and bought the NS-HD01 for the promise of portable and mobile HD Radio listening. The receiver uses the headphones as the antenna for radio reception much like the zune and other portable MP3 players. This solution proves to be completely inadequate. I live in the Cleveland OH area, and at home next to a window or in the car on the dash I am unable to receive the majority of my markets HD stations reliably. The procedure for tuning IBOC HD stations is to first tune the...

With Bestbuy launching the sale of the first inexpensive(?) portable HD radio and more stations going HD, will the format now reach critical mass? More cars and home theater receivers are including it and with the zune HD going to have it, things are looking on the up and up.
