How does the network thing work? Does it work like a network player?

I'm guessing you are referring to the fact that this reciever connects to wifi and you can control the reciever with a wifi enabled smart phone via the free app. You can play music from your iPhone wirelessly via wifi connection.

It is actually pretty simple but you need a wireless router in your network to start with.Pick up a cheap second wireless router/access point. During setup set the access point to "client mode" or "bridge". Use you current routers IP as the gateway settings in the access point and in the HD-DVD player settings. power up the HD player and it should have access.A bit simplified, but the secret is to get the IP address of everything set correctly.PS You also DO NOT want a USB version as you can not use USB on the player, it must be ethernet.

Had to google ChannelMaster to find out what you're talking about. The only way I could connect this player to my network was by using an ethernet cable. At this price, the circuitry you get does not include wifi connectivity. To be honest, at this price, you don't even get very good sound...

The network is ok .. but I couldn't test the speed because there is no way to see/copy/files through network in this device and no way to browse for subtitle. I don't recommend this player for you dear .. look for other media player

It will stream from any source (of music files) on your network. If your pc is on your network and has music files it will find them and organize them for your access.

The player is automatically set to grab an IP address from your network. Just follow instructions that came with the player. If your network is on, the player will lock onto it.

What *I* had to do was go into Homegroups, click on ALL NETWORKS, and THEN the player showed up (as "Unknown device) - I set it to ALLOW. After that, streaming worked. Once you do that, you should see another media server listed with your PC name that DOESN'T prompt you for a password. Let me know how it goes.

This works good. I had no problem with the setup. I also like the you can attach an external usb drive and share on your network.

Yeah. That's how I have it. I would suggest using the software for a more seamless approach. Doing it manually (going into network settings and configuring it, etc.) can be a bit messy.

I have been using this player for about a year with this play for about a year. I have 2 MyCloud drives connected to the ethernet. I can easily access each one with the Live TV as well as another device I have which is the Live hub. The Live Hub has it's own internal storage ( yet small ) I am able to stream the content from the drive, or select media server, which is one of my 2 MyCloud.

Yes - if you have internet, you can stream web content thru the player's connection.

No, unfortunately not. Although the player has a USB input the player does not have WIFI capability. The USB is for connecting external hard drives, flash drives, etc.

I don't know as you player never worked straight out of the box. I would buy a Samsung player and you should be able to use Samsung s-link to connect them through wifi

Hi. FYI, unless I'm missing a setting, this doesn't do Playon and Plexus like my older Sony Blu-Ray player. Thought I'd mention that since those are typically offered with smart devices. But it does do Amazon, YouTube, Hulu Plus (but not the free Hulu, which is why I use the Playon), and music services too like Slacker. Also, I prefer wired streaming since it tends to be more reliable than wifi.

Horribly, because it doesn't seem to stay on the network very well. I've had two now, the first sent back to ASUS because it wouldn't work, the second is now still not really working. The few times I did try to stream audio, it worked, somewhat but would stop playing at random. (or are you not asking how well, but 'what technique do you use?') To make it work, you use apple airplay as I recall, I didn't try it with a PC though. It just shows up on airplay if the settings are right in the web setup UI.

I haven't had that exact problem. My only suggestion is to update your player's firmware. The manual tells you how, but really you just connect the player to your internet router with a cable and turn it on. It updates itself and when it's done you can remove the cable. I believe some of the newer disks have new "features" that can confuse the older firmware.

I don't know, I returned the player, because it was not what I expected it to be. Read the service manual, it should give you details.
