The T.V. is an excellent buy for the money. The picture is excellent. I got a great price too. If they run the same price I would buy 3 more. I just love this T.V. Can't beat the quality.

I wanted a Blu-Ray player which would connect wirelessly to the internet for updates and downloads of movies. I also wanted a machine which would connect directly to my HDTV with HDMI cable and would allow sound to be run from the TV to my Audio/Video tuner via fiberoptics to play through my 7.1 speaker system.
This Sony 560 met every one of those requirements. Not only that, the set up and installation went very smoothly for a person like me who has only a moderate grasp on things technical. Once set up it successfully accessed my AT&T UVerse modem. For me, any machine that actually allows SUCCESSFUL set up without requiring a technical degree is tops in my book.
I have only had the machine since Christmas but so far it has shined in playing both Blu-Ray and DVD movies. I highly recommend this product.

Surprisingly, the Sony BDP-S560 does not stream online video from popular commerical services like Amazon Video-On-Demand. Even the latest upgrade to the firmware does not allow Netflix, Amazon, or any other streaming service to function.
The absence of the ability to stream video makes the built in WiFi, nearly pointless (the only use seems to be to access BD Live content available on some blu-ray discs).
The less expensive Sony BDP-N460 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) with a WiFi adapter (Linksys by Cisco WET610N Wireless-N Ethernet Bridge with Dual-Band is preprogrammed to work with the N-460) or a dedicated Roku HD-XR Player unit is apparently a better choice for those desiring streaming video over WiFi.

I've returned three of these, each attempted install resulted in different problems from not powering on, jittery video and ultimately completely locking up.
I changed cables, changed videos, before and after updates. Each time I thought, "Gosh, this is a strong manufacturer so it must be a rare coincidence." Rare coincidence or not, I won't be trying a fourth.
I wish I hadn't tried this unit because the experience I had looked forward to is soured. My inevitable next purchase will carry that negative memory with it...and that's not what a purchase is supposed to be like. It raises the question, "How many negative experience does it take to ruin your impression and expectations of a brand?" I don't know if I'll buy Sony again. It may not bother them, but this product isn't a bargain choice and in this economy I want to spend my money on people who take as much pride in their work as I do my own.

My mistake I suppose. I assumed wireless would allow me to use this to stream Netflix, but no such luck.
