Why does it say "This set is internet ready and will allow you to access online movies, but does not have a web browser or social media access.."?

It's wifi ready, no dongle needed to make it so. It's internet ready through the apps it's programmed with such as amazon movies, youtube, hulu, etc., but only through the apps. You cannot use this as a big screen monitor as is. To make it more "internet useful", you'll need to have the correct equipment and programs i.e. WiDi, add a dongle to stream other stuff perhaps, Push2TV boxes, yada yada.

I use mine with a roku but it is not needed. It has a ethernet jack and you can plug it into the internet to access various on line movie and TV sources. I think I saw where you can use a key board with it as well but again I use a roku for internet TV

It means that you can get Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Youtube and a few other movie services, but it has no internet browser, no Facebook connection. Yes, it's a little limited, but I don't miss it--still use my computer for Internet browsing.

Thank you for posting, of course. But I don't put a whole lot of stock in that transcript. Since the PS3 has Netflix Streaming using the BD-Live technology provided also on the S560, I tried using the PS3 Instant Streaming disc. It *almost* worked. Apparently, the S560 does not have a date/time setting, which is required by the Netflix DRM algorithm. After much testing, I believe that is the only stumbling block to getting Netflix Streaming to work on the S560.So, yes, the S560 as is does not support Netflix Streaming, but those of you who think it can't, may not realize how easy it would be to make it so.

I am also having this issue. Contacted amazon instant video customer service. They said they have been having this issue with panasonic blu ray's but I still don't have an answer on the fix. Now my blu ray won't connect to the internet at all.

Works fine from PS3. My guess would be that Netflix is a competitor to the Vudu provider who does most of the internet connectivity "channels" on this set, hence the exclusion. This actually works fine for me so far, since I have yet to get the audio return channel working from any of the internet "channels".

The set is wifi "READY" but requires a purchase of part TY-WL20U WIRELESS ADAPTER for around $131.00 on Amazon hope it helps the only other option is to use a CAT5 cable and plug directly into the TV via the network port to hook to the Internet

It is a code but you own the game, which means that you do not have to be online to play. Some features may not work without being connected to the Internet.

The only apps available are preloaded by JVC. They are Netflix,Pandora (music only) and Vudu these are the only sites which can be streamed via the internet. There is NOT a browser on this model JVC, therefore the only internet access is by the 3 preloaded apps. You cannot add additional sites that will give you other streaming content. NO BROWSER. You will need to add a Roku or BluRay... some similar device that provides access via WI-Fi or ethernet. The TV itself has WI-fi and Ethernet access for Netflix. Pandora and Vudu but without a browser present, you are stuck with those only. Sorry... the set is great and I have fought that battle with JVC. I was told that they were going to add some other apps, but not a browser... that was over a year ago with no luck. I hate to say this but their "Marketing Hype" in the literature is very mis-leading.

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

This MacBook will allow you to watch movies. So yes you will be able to stream movies online without a problem. Thanks Discount Mac Depot

It's the stupid DRM copy protection garbage they've been adding recently (called "Flash Access"). That broke streaming for both the TouchPad and the Playbook as well as Linux for much of the content on Amazon (most shows and some movies so far, and growing). There's a relatively easy workaround for Linux, and the updated Flash player on Android should also work, but it's not so easy to fix on TouchPad or PlayBook. This is not a rumor, it has been confirmed by Amazon customer service. If you don't like the direction they are heading, feel free to let them know, or try contacting HP to push for an updated version with the Flash Access DRM module.

I don't see that as one of the entertainment options. It has Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, MLB TV, Utube, Pandora, Napster, Picasa Web Albums, and AccuWeather

No, you have to be on the internet to use it. The tech people are really good at setting it up for you.

I don't believe so. If there is, I've not found it. There's no browser so you're locked to the services set. Netflix, YouTube and Pandora. There used to be a Blockbuster service and I kept expecting Samsung to update my machine with a replacement like Amazon Streaming but that's never happened and considering this models age, I doubt Samsung is doing anything. I don't think they consider it part of the package they sold me.

Everyone else is correct. You can only stream movies using the installed apps. There is no browser use with this TV.

this is not internet ready but, you can add Apple TV to make it internet ready

Internet is necessary. Some apps come with it. Mine crashed about 2 weeks after I got it. I'm returning it and hopefully the next one will be fine. Happy New Year!

Unfortunately Panasonic does not make this very clear on the BluRay box. The player, depending on model is "wireless ready" but requires the LAN adapter to connect to your wi-fi as it does not have the required circuitry internally to receive and process the wi-fi signal. My Blu Ray was network ready - if I used an ethernet cable, but required the adapter for wifi. I guess it is way to sell an accessory. This is a throwback to early laptops that required a wifi usb adapter to connect.
