Blame Samsung engineers, blame your internet provider, blame your local telephone service or cable provider, blame your DSL box, blame Netflix for not supplying sufficient bandwidth, blame sunspots (which interfere with wireless transmissions), blame your router, blame your neighbor's WiFi for interfering with yours, blame your neighbors for all checking their email at 6PM, blame your neighbors for hacking into your WiFi because you were too lazy to chose a hard-to-hack WEP code, blame your son for using up all your bandwidth playing online videogames, blame global warming (no reason), blame your ethernet connection, blame your ethernet cables, blame your HIMI cables (which may be too long or an old version), blame those horrible flourescent light bulbs the Government is forcing us to buy (which cause radio-wave interference)----but don't blame the BD-D5000.
