best dvd player streaming netflix image
Curious In
I have an LG Blue Ray DVD player capable of streaming my Netflix from the PC. What is the best way to do this? Should I get a wireless router to send the signal to the DVD player? Does it cost more than my actual monthly subscription? Serious answers please...thanks!
Answer
Well, you should get a router regardless. It's the easiest way to share your internet connection between multiple devices. Using a router does not add to your internet fees.
Your LG blu-ray player can stream directly from Netflix - a PC is not required (other than to set up the account.) All Netflix subscriptions include unlimited streaming so if you already have a Netflix account you're all set there.
As for connecting the blu-ray player to the router, if it supports wireless, go ahead and use that. It'll be easier than having to run an ethernet cable from the player to your router.
Keep in mind that streaming movies is like downloading a very large file. If your ISP has monthly limitations on how much data you can download, use of Netflix streaming may cause you to go over. An average 90 minute movie will use between 1 to 3 GB of data.

i don't care about Blu-ray or HD-DVD's, just want a regular DVD player that streams Netflix. would be good if it played VHS too, but doubt they make those anymore. user friendly, price range $150 tops
can you play regular DVDs on a Blu-ray player?
Answer
DVD player that streams Netflix? - XBOX 360
You can also stream netflix on a Wii or ps3.
You're not gonna find just a plain dvd player that does Netflix. You're going to need a Blu-ray player.
DVD discs can not have internet features. Blu-ray discs can
A lot of Blu-ray discs have an online feature called BD-Live (Blu-ray Disc Live), so most blu-ray players go online for BD-Live, so a lot of blu-ray players will include other internet features like you tube and Netflix
That vizio someone else mentioned is a Blu-ray player. Vizio doesn't even make regular dvd players
UPDATE because of your "additional details": Update - yes, Blu-ray players play DVDs and CDs. DVD players do not play Blu-ray Discs
