Hello,

I think the other reason why people don't go the Apple TV or Vudu route is because most people don't have an internet plug behind there tv. For your average Joe the Plumber this would be more of an inconvience. I mean personally I think this very issue is going to sway me towards a blu ray player. I just don't really feel like going through all the hassle of putting an internet plug behind my tv. Great podcast!

Doesn't blu-ray want you to use an "internet plug" as well? You know, for firmware updates when your $30 discs won't play?

Marshall,

I see your point about the blu ray players and I would want to update them for sure. I wouldn't install a plug just for that though. Plus, I'm not really into all the blu-ray connectivity features. I just want to watch hi def movies and that's it. In my case I would just drag a long cat5 cable temporarily from my router to my player to do the updates.

You might as well go ahead and run a cable down the wall for internet. It seems everything will eventually be connected to the web.
