When I purchase a movie on Google Play on this TV, do I download the movie or can I stream it? If I have to DL it, can I just add an external drive?

Some movies are not streaming due to the missing plug in ( adobe 10.2) version . I have downloaded an application from google play to run the movie after downloading it . Now i can watch some movies after downloading it but earlier it was not possible.

None. Its an interesting question though. Considering you cannot playback movies on the device directly, unless you stored audio files there isn't a need for one.

We have found that the only players that will play ours are newer Panasonics with HDDs; our LG has NO idea what it is. IF your project is small enough you can burn HD / Blu ray quality to a DVD, but it would be a short movie.

I have had a streaming problem with my BD65 for a couple of days.I get the "cannot play movie at this moment, try again later" window.On all movies from my queue..Does anyone have this problem?

I haven't tried it because I can't download any apps from Google Play. This device is not compatible with Google Play itself so you can't even install it. Maybe you can stream directly from the browser.

Thanks so much for the quick reponse.How good is the quality of the movies over the internet? Does the blu ray player hook up to the net and if so is it wireless? Or are you talking about renting movies thru the mail in blu ray.I'm trying to avoid the mail rentals since my family tends to misplace them.

There is a Vudu channel, and I was able to add it and browsed their movie catalog. I haven't used it yet though, there is so much else I already have with Amazon Prime and other channels that I haven't needed it. It seemed a bit pricy to me, but I guess you pay for convenience. However, it won't do 1080P, which seems to be a big part of the reason to use Vudu, since the LT can't support that. So any movies you stream would be in SD instead.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

We use the Google playstore and we also have Netflix. U can also watch from YouTube.

I was curious about the same thing? Have you been able to find out yet? Also? Although this may sound like a stupid question, are you able to download these movies or music then take them with you in the car for example and let the kids in the back seat be able to watch them on their kindles?

You cannot play conventional DVDs on it b/c it lacks a DVD drive, but you do have other options - 1. Attach an external DVD drive so that you can play DVDs2. Stream movies from someone like NetFlix (I love this site)3. Download movies from Amazon (or some other site) onto the SSD "C" drive or onto an additional SDHC card which you can plug into the provided expansion slot.You can buy high capacity SD cards at reasonable rates. See Amazon's offer of the A-Data 16 GB SDHC card for $29.

Yes. You can download anything on the device to your phone. But playing it directly from the device also works perfectly fine with no buffering issues.

What would people with the choice we have now. I'd like to know the opinion.1. Buy really cheap DVDs NOW and use the upconversions done by the Blu-Ray player for the HDTV.2. Wait to get the true Blu-Ray discs to come eventually at more expensive cost compared against the DVD discs.What would you do?

Yes, you can connect a USB drive directly or access your files on the network. I have downloaded Plex Media Player from the Google Play store, and I love it. It catalogs all media, download poster and art if available on the Internet automatically. Google TV comes with media player but I like Plex and Avia players from play store.

I am not seeing the ability to stream Amazon instant video. Anyone know how to do this. My old Blu Ray player kept adding channels to installation.

Truthfully, I cannot get Google Play Store to work ( even though it's a "google" tablet) . I have downloaded all of my apps rom "SlideMe" which works great -- I can watch movies on Netflix, watch "youTube", download and read from both NOOK and KINDLE apps - I SKYPE and , of course, email and internet search.. Since I can do everything I want with it when I'm away from home -- the Google Play Store doesn't bother me -- but if you can find someone to make it work - I would be interested in just knowing how..

Great I ordered thinking it came with Blu Ray drive. Can it be upgraded? I saw a video on YouTube that mentioned Blu Ray, but didn't exactly stated if it had it or not.
