807287
I have connected my KDL-46XBR9 to the Internet via a wireless bridge. My network schema: TV ---- Zyxel P-330W - - - Linksys WRT54G2 --- Internet You can play Internet video, download Yahoo! widgets and access local DLNA servers (Windows Media Center works - but not for all media types). Cannot surf the Internet though. See these videos to get a better idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z7QF-tRaac&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHndiAZtyyY

The TV has WIFI compatability and should allow you to browse, however I have not used this feature. According to my conversation with Sony customer support the TV is equipped with the browser feature.

No you don't the Sony NSZ*GT! Was a nice unit when first come out about 3 4 years ago (not sure how long) because it gave the user the ability to browse the internet on a regular TV. I got my unit second hand because the first one I got came bad, it wouldn't play BR DVDs.I got a apple tv and is way better for playing Netflix, but it has no access to the web, if you need both save your money and get a smart TV that has a google browser (chrome) Sony drop the ball on this one, not exactly a good product.

According to the website http://www.sony.lv/product/tv-117-46-lcd/kdl-46ex520/features#tab, it works on your TV:FeaturesKDL-46EX520Ready for wireless connection to the Internet - Wireless LAN-Ready so you can add a UWA-BR100 USB Wi-Fi® adaptor from Sony and connect to your Internet router without cables

Yeah, guess I'll be living with my old multiregion DVD player (a CyberHome) as well for a while yet... still hoping to reduce the number of remotes we have to deal with (I was happy that LG included program codes for a whole bunch of TVs, so I could get the LG remote to control my TV [a Philips LCD], at least!). Thanks for the pointer: here's hoping...!

Again, buyer beware and do your research. This issue has confused a lot of people who expected the XBR series to continue with this feature into the next model year. This is also why the xbr4 costs generally more than the xbr6 in the same size. (For those interested in 120hz, be darned sure to read the fine print if you are looking at LG's Scarlets: 120hz is NOT available in all size models.) Amazon should set a high standard for website shopping and correct the info in their Sony chart. That kind of reliability and integrity would attract more customers who do not want to spend hours bouncing from site to site trying to confirm info at less reliable sites.

Went to QVC as well. Not having much luck finding Internet connected TV's in this size. Hope it's as good as it sounds.

If you click on the "Smart" button on the remote, one of the icons is for web browsing. I've used it and it works (as long as you setup your T.V. ) on your home network. Since I don't have a keyboard attached to the T.V. it was cumbersome using selecting one letter at a time from the virtual keyboard and remote control, so I hardly ever use it.

I have the Live version and plugged it in for the first time in months today. There was a firmware update that brought Miracast, the new Roku-like interface (apps, tiles, background switching), and a bunch of other stuff (I didn't read the list).

Thanks for the reply. I received your answer after ordering the Roku unit from Amazon, so installed it anyway. Surprise, it works just fine!

No problem, let me know if you have any more questions. I've had this TV for about a year now and I love it. The SMART TV (internet) features are pretty shabby but that's not why I bought it so for me it works great!

Linn, I currently have an XDS in use (The HD-XR is a "backup"). Essentially, as far as I know the HD-XR specs and "innards" are identical to the XDS (save the extra "real" component cable connections and bigger case; see Roku website for spec sheet page). Speaking of slow internet connections, you've got to have at least 2Mbps speed to get "two dots" viewable resolution (out of four dots; I have >4Mbps to reach "four dots" max resolution consistently). So in a way, it does "buffer", with a "progress bar" on screen...on those unusually rare "slow days" on i.e. Netflix (I am basing it on the identical specs of XDS & XD-HR).

It must be a wired connection, there is no wireless on this model. Also this is not a "smart" tv so the internet connection on this tv is more for software and firmware updates than anything else. You won't find all kinds of apps on this model
