I've bought two separate bluray dvd players that have wifi with Netflix. First one was Phillips and second was $25 more and a Sony. Each one picture fails plugged up through my HDMI on my Vizio TV. The Sony picture is either scrambled or says Not Supported. The Phillips would just not show. Every once in a while with plugging and unplugging it the picture will show up. Why is it doing this?
Answer
if two players did the same thing I'd think its your TV that;s at fault . it could be your tv can't support 1080p or 720p or the hdmi port is damaged , or you could have some settings on the tv wrong such as not setting it to 16:9
a not supported message basically is telling you this resolution picture is not supported on this device , on some of the cheaper TV brands like vizio it sometimes happens just because the TVs processor is too slow and at times just turning the tv off for a few seconds then on again can fix this error

Should a buy a blu-ray dvd player?

I would like to buy a blu-ray player, but am weary because I know they will be replaced soon, like dvds before them, and videos before them. So should I buy one? If there's not going to be something bigger and better in the next 5 years I will get one. I don't want to waste my money if it's going to be replaced in the next couple of years. Thanks

Considering that VHS lasted for 25 years and DVD have already been out for a decade and are still going strong, I would say that those aren't very good comparisons. Now if you are afraid that they will be like Beta Max and Laser Disc, then you have a point. But I seriously doubt that it will happen. At least not at this point in the game. Allow me to explain why.
Laser disk, which only lasted about 3 years, failed because of serious design flaws. Instead of waiting just a couple of more years for technology to catch up with their idea and allow the movies to be put on smaller discs, the laser discs were the size of record albums. This made them bulky and easily scratched with handling. They also required the use to flip them in the middle of the movie, which made for crappy viewing. Sure, the video was nice, but that was the only advantage.
I don't think you will ever have to worry about Blu-Ray going the route of the Laser Disc for the simple fact that all it really is is a much improved DVD. DVDs have proven themselves handy and that people like them. There is no flipping in the middle of the movies and people like the size of the discs. The only major change from DVD to Blu-Ray (from the users point of view) is the improved video and audio clarity. These are both advantages. Other than cost (which has significantly dropped), there is no real down side. In fact, many Blu-Ray players now can stream netflix movies, read, USB memory sticks, and more. These are advantages that will be around for some time to come.
Beta Max failed because of format wars between Beta Max and VHS. These two products were simply too similar and came out at relatively the same time. VHS obviously won the war.
I don't think you have to worry about Blu-Ray following in the footsteps of the Beta Max players either since they already won a similar format war between HD DVD and themselves. Of course Sony played a large part in their victory.
Since there is no format war currently being fought, and since the Blu-Ray disc is very user friendly, I think it's safe to say that they have a well extablished footing in todays market and should be around for a while.
