Is there any DVD player in the market that can stream Netflix?

Uppili Vij

I am not looking for a Blu-Ray player and I am not looking for a streaming only Roku. :)

Answer
An Xbox can be a DVD player and can stream Netflix.
Linksys used to have a DVD player/media Extenter combo, but it may be cheaper to buy a DVD player + Roku box.

are there any dvd players that only stream netflix? No other internet capability?

I need a DVD player that only has Netflix. So no Pandora or youtube or any other internet capability.

Answer
You will not find a Blu Ray player with Netflix only (DVD players do not offer net services). Just because you have a service available does not mean that you have to activate it.

Portable DVD player that streams Netflix?

revert-to-

I am looking into buying a great portable DVD player that will let me stream movies from Netflix. I have looked into the Samsung BD-C8000. It seems good, but a bit expensive. Is there any other less expensive brand or model I could buy? What do you think about the Samsung model and other ones?

Answer
You're not going to find Netflix on a portable DVD player. The Samsung Blu-Ray player you mentioned is an excellent choice.

what is a good DVD player that streams Netflix?

best dvd player streaming netflix image

Mike

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

Can I connect a Roku to my old TV through my old DVD player?

This is mainly for Netflix streaming. I am not tech-savie. The TV is not in the same room as the computer, but I am thinking my wireless router means that I do not have to physically connect the Roku to the router. Would a Blue Ray DVD player that can stream Netflix be a better choice for me than a Roku?

Answer
The roku box does a lot more than you think so check them out before you buy. http://www.roku.com
A blu ray that connects to the internet will give you Netflix and maybe 3 other apps. Look at what you get before you buy. Each brand gives you some different apps. However, you will be able to play your old dvds in the blu ray and have a better picture.
One thing of caution, in order to go wireless, some blu rays require a wireless lan adapter that can add $70 to the cost. Sony has a built in antenna.
Also, your speed is crucial to getting good results with Netflix. The higher the better but it has to be above 2 mbps. The further your modem is away from the blu ray the more your wireless signal can drop and it's subject to interference from cell phones, cordless phones and any wireless device.

Do Netflix movies lose their quality when streamed from the computer to the TV (by cord)?

I have a blu ray dvd player that does not stream Netflix unfortunately, so I am looking for another solution rather than just going out to buy another bluray disc player. The AT&T installation tech mentioned that I could buy a cord from the Apple store and connect it from my 27" iMac to my HDTV. Will the quality be the same? Will it be full HD? Thanks.

Answer
Computer is more intelligent & powerful than Blu-ray with streaming facility. Only thing is it should have HDMI Port. Then get HDMI cable and see everything on your HD TV with HD quality if your video is in HD.

What is my best option for viewing web content on my tv?

John

My needs are very simple. I already have a dvd player with network capabilities to stream netflix and other services. What I want it is to watch videos exclusive to specific websites on my tv. For example Biography.com has full epsiodes that are exclusive to the website and can't be found on netflix or youtube. How do I get that on my tv?

I've considered buying a laptop and connecting it to my tv, but that seems kind of pricey and I don't really need a laptop at the moment nor do I want to run a long cable from my desktop to my tv. Is there another option?

Answer
Best is a PC. You can get an SFF PC for a couple hundred that will do just that.

Do I need the cable company to set up a router for me to get netflix?

best dvd player streaming netflix image

penelope

Do I need the cable company to set me up to get wi-fi to stream netflix. I have a tv in one room. I have a computer plugged in another room. What router do I need for a vizio tv, and a sony blue ray dvd player?

Answer
If you do not have a wireless router, simplest is to get a wireless router for your internet connection and connect that with ethernet cable to your computer.

Then you need something to bridge wireless to the other devices. The typical wireless bridge only supports 1 device. Some routers can act as a wireless bridge with special firmware, but one that can natively act as wireless client bridge for 4 wired devices Zyxel P-330W. I have been using one for years to connect my desktop PC, Bluray player, and sometimes old laptop or other computers to a wireless router in my basement. Unfortunately, they seem to have been discontinued so they may be difficult to find. But this is one source that still seems to have them http://www.amazon.com/ZyXEL-P330W-802-11g-Wireless-Router/dp/B000AAQQBC

Another option is powerline networking where you plug one module in where you have internet and the other module where you need neworking, some with up to 4 ports. But you might still need a router where plug your PC and first module.

But things are changing so fast I have not kept up with everything. So web search "wireless bridge" and "powerline network".
