(I would think that one unit was defective, but let me repeat that both started misbehaving at the same time - and others note on review sites that streaming was a problem after April, 2012, as I did.

The player seemed fine in general, but the real "fatal flaw" of it, for us, is that it doesn't support Amazon Instant streaming, and doesn't look like it ever will (people have been complaining about it for nearly a year, hoping that Samsung would release an app for it, but they haven't).PROs

I chose this model because the Blockbuster site said it supported the Blockbuster online streaming

Picture is amazing streaming and playing a DVD

Comcast, AT&T, etc, are causing slow streaming on purpose to get you irritated enough to only watch and pay for their movies etc

this product doesnt work w netflix streaming
