Question about LG BD570 bluray player
Thinking of buying this player:
http://www.dixons.co.uk/gbuk/lg-bd57...369&xtor=AL-63 It has built in wifi with LG Netcast, but I can't figure out if that includes iPlayer or not. On LG's website it lists iPlayer: http://www.lg.com/uk/netcast/index.jsp ...but does that mean all LG players have iPlayer or just certain ones? |

Panasonic seem to be only putting i-Player on their Freesat enabled TVs. So it looks like if you want a Blu Ray player with i-Player functionality you're going to have to go for a Sony - probably a BDPS370. It's frustrating as I've thought about buying a BD, but am not keen on Sony kit - as I've always found it to be on the pricey side for average performance and with UIs which I've never got on with. |

Seriously.. buy this (bear in mind a wireless dongle is 60-70 quid unless you can plug it into your router..) |

Oh, that's disappointing.
I saw the Sony one you mentioned, but that's more expensive and doesn't have built in wifi - which is a pain since my router and player won't be in the same room. [Edit: my mistake, it isn't more expensive unless I get the dongle too... thanks both. I'll mull it over.] |

The Sony 570 has the wifi built-in and is also 3d compatible. £160 though.

Just an update... got the LG player yesterday, and as Chloe says, the wifi setup was very simple, the software update took about half an hour, and the streaming quality of iPlayer is fantastic. Very happy with it.
