Not mine... They added those built-in internet apps on the later models. :(

Same thing on my tv. The generation after mine came with a multitude of apps that aren't available on my model. Sucks.

I've been researching some of the current Blu-Ray players that have similar apps built-in... Along with Wi-Fi.

That's a good alternative.

And the price of Blu-Ray players has plummeted... Remember when they seemed to hover around $200 for the longest time?

Now they're around $100 or less... Unless you're talking about the Oppo. :sweat:

Yeah the Oppo is in the stratosphere. Only for hardcore videophiles. I remember when they finally came out with their Blu-ray player. Talk about sticker shock.

That IS incredibly cheap.

Their focus is strictly on bleeding edge tech. Very little frills. They do support some streaming services, natively, like Netflix & Pandora along with a few others but you're right there doesn't seem to be an ecosystem to support the development and addition of internet apps.

Starting Moribito. I'm excited.

@Tu

Seems the crunchy roll prob ironed itself out. :victory:

Nothing like plugging and unplugging a few times. :beaten:

Strangely enough I had to do that myself for the first time. The box wasn't picking up my wifi signal for some reason after I moved it downstairs to my primary TV.

Dude I'm thinking of just buying another one so I can be lazy and have one on each TV :beaten:

I've already thought about having a second one in the bedroom. :beaten:

Well Moribito is going down fast. It's the second night and I'm already on ep 9.

So get to work on your next rec for me. :beatyou: :hehe:

Having fun watching Bakuman - jsut got current last night and things are becoming quite interesting.
I wonder how long the anime will be - hopefully it covers the manga all the way to the end.

:lol:

T'will take more than just a simple yet foxy mercenary to do that.

In the meanwhile things are going in a most interesting way in Bakumatsu kikansetsu irohanihoheto. Really wondering exactly what the playwright Ibaragi is up too. :victory:

Watching Sekai Ichi hatsukoi. Rather startled to find it on Crunchyroll. It's a catchy yaoi piece about editors at a shojo manga publisher.


Guess you could call it quite bishounen. :beaten:

Waiting on new eps for Bakuman so started Last Exile: Fam...
Quite interesting how the fight scenes changed from the old Last Exile.

OK, so I finished Sekai Ichi hatsukoi. Skipped a couple of eps towards the end. Got a bit predictable. And repetiitive. I was ready for the end. 7 out of 10.
Back to the much better BAkumatsu.

I'm watching Bakumatsu and Un-Go at the moment while revisiting some Honey & Clover eps...dayem that show is funny.

Still not done with Bakumatsu. Got caught up in chihayafuru now. :beaten:

Me neither. Crunchyroll is a scourge in the sense that trying to say you finished everything you want to watch is impossible.
