It's not a smart TV, but you can play any format send through, the TV, I have used a Blu-Ray player and now use PS3 and stream all media from my PC with no problem. I hope this help.

Sorry Jerry, have no idea. If you go into the LG site, you can pull up info on any model.

This TV is not a smart TV so it has no way to access a network or drive other than through a USB.

I will have to check on that. I don't believe my tv has any widgets. Looks like the LAN port is just for firmware updates. Thanks for the reply.

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

Yes, it does support DLNA. It can play from any UPnP server on your network, such as Windows Media Player.

Yes, that's the setup I have I works fine. Resolution seems fine. Don't use it much, though. Too many commercials on over-the-air TV, even if you can fast-forward though them.

As far as I can tell this device is supported for both ATSC and analog cable for MeTV and MythTV packages. I think they both use the LinuxTV engine. We'll see, I just ordered one based on this assumption.

I concur. I bought a WDTV Plus and I'm sending it back. It has a lot of problems playing DVD images if they're not in a particular format.

I do not own this tv but the product spec PDF on Amazon shows it to be DLNA compliant so you should be able to stream from a DLNA source on the network. Can anyone who owns this confirm?Update: I bought this TV and it DOES have DLNA networking capabilities. Worked very well streaming from a 2TB media server.

It has A/V output - composite video plus analog audio. If your TV has the red/white/yellow RCA jack input, it will work. Obviously, the image will only be as high a resolution as your set is capable (probably 480I) but it will work quite well. I don't know about playing local content. Probably not, or they would tout that feature. It seems most of these boxes anymore are just for streaming - manufacturers either assume nobody wants to watch their own movies anymore, or, more likely, the idea is to steer you toward (preferably PPV or subscription) streaming services.

I tested one of these Sony BDP-S3200, and I found (much to my annoyance) that, while it will connect to A DNLA server (e.g. my NAS box), it will not actually PLAY most of the video files. The bulk of my networked files are in MP4 format, but it says in the user manual that it may not be able to play MP4, MKV, or TS files on a DNLA server. The only video files I found that seemed to consistently work were AVI (XVid) and some WMV.

The good news is that with recent updates, DLNA support is provided. The bad news is that is only supports DVD formatted mpeg2 files. To play other formats, you have to copy them to a USB memory stick and plug them into the USB port.

Hi there , this model is region 1 only and to be honest we would recommend buying a Kenwood dnx system instead.Thank you.

I don't know what the current firmware version is or where to find it. I never had to do anything ,but set the television up. if anything updated it didn't know it.

I tested this with the HDMI connection. The owners manual, available publicly on the Philips site, indicates that the choice of upscaling format is available only on an HDMI connection, so I did not bother trying with component video. It seems component video supports only 480i/480p, or 576p to a PAL TV. The manual also indicates support for HDMI connections to DVI devices that support HDCP; I don't have such a device so I have not verified this. I hope shortly to have a 1080p TV to verify its behavior there.Thanks for the question. Although I saw it mentioned in a review or another forum question that upscaling was available only on HDMI, I realised after I wrote earlier that I should have included this detail.

No but you should be able to connect your tv to your network and access the files on the NAS if it is DLNA compatible.

Yes, this TV supports HDMI 2.0 and I was able to connect a Dell M6800 laptop to it to obtain 3840x2160 @ 60 Hz over displayport and hdmi. Only some of the inputs are be able to display the 3840x2160 @ 60hz video though.

The tv found my plex server but i didnt get a chance to test the playback. Overall the tv features and apps are rather slow compared to my sony n8100 blu ray player which technically has all the same functionality.
