Hi everyone


I want to be able to watch catch up tv on my tv via a blu ray player. Currently I have a Sony one but only had bbc iplayer and 5od.


I need to have at least Bbc iplayer, Netflix, 4od


Love film, itv and 5od are optional


Can anyone recommend a blu ray player or similar device which will do the job? My friend has a Sony ps3 which has most of these - it's weird that other Sony blu ray players don't have the same function.


Any suggestions more than welcome


Many thanks!

Sony blu ray players do not have the processing power necessary to decode the very complicated encryption that Netflix uses in the uk apparently, hence why it is more widely available on consoles. I am in the same position as you, so if you do find a solution please keep me posted.

Just phoned John Lewis - apparently all Samsung blu ray players will have Bbc iplayer, Netflix and 4od


However, they are sold out of most devices (except for the expensive recorders) but they are bringing in new stock and releases in April/may. Other retailers are available...

X Box won't play BluRay but does the rest. Given you already have a player though it might well be the best solution.


I got one of these players recently which is brilliant, has Netflix integrated but doesn't have 4od - http://www.richersounds.com/product/1-box-home-cinema-systems/panasonic/scbtt590/pana-scbtt590

      Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
