As above, cheap and functional any recommendations?

I use a PS3 for all that (oh, and to watch and record freeview).

Streaming doesn’t always work that well over wireless. Much better cabled, or using homeplugs.

I got a nice Sony blur ray that has all those features (apart from netflix and the wireless adaptor costs extra), and it came with 3 months free lovefilm.

Get a PS3 if you can as it will get updated with new apps and such like.

My 14 month old Sony Blu-ray player isn’t going to be getting a Netflix app even though the same player has a Netflix app in the US 🙁

Problem is the TV is in a different room from the router……whats a home plug? As for PS3, my Xbox is getting sold as I cant remember thew last time I played it, I’m just not a gamer at all

Iplayer streams fine on my Sony Blu ray, even in HD.

I virtually never play games on mine. Just all the tv/film stuff above (and a bit of music, photos etc).

Home plug network thingy over at ebuyer -love ’em

double post

‘nother vote for the PS3. They reckon the blueray player in the PS3 is the same as the one in some of the top end stand alone Sony Blueray players, only it’s cheaper and has more functions….
Built in Wireless, netflix etc

It’ll do most of what’s in your original post other than Blu-rays, y’know.

Failing that, last I looked Sony DB player was weapon of choice (and hence what I bought).

+1 for PS3

my ps3 does all of the above hardly ever use it for games

PS3 streams Lovefilm perfectly on HD. Same with BBC/4OD etc.

Great piece of kit; you can also try COD Modern Warfare.

Puzzled about all the PS3 recommendations when the OP has stated he doesn’t play games. But if you want to pay a premium for functionality you never use, ‘s your money.

The PS3 is a consummate BD player, but a modern standalone player will be better if that’s all you use it for.

I do not think any of the stand alone Sony Blu-Ray players support ITV Player or 4od. Happy to be proved wrong though.

Bit dissapointed by the stand alone Blu Ray players – I expected there to be loads out there that play blu rays, connect to the internet wirelessly and play all streaming content available – seems like different manufacturers only support certain streaming services – now thinking about looking into what my current xbox is capable of (got it 2 years ago, played a on it for one day and not tuirned on since) – although I’ll need one of those wireless dongle things
