Steaming with the Samsung

The Samsung BR DVD player has some interesting features- such as in-the-box support for Netflix, Blockbuster Pandora and YouTube.

With a disk out (one of the limitations of Blu-Ray- I started doing some development on the BR standard for an IPTV project), you get to choose which of the services you want to stream. 

I loaded up Pandora and was very impressed.  I got a key code to sign in and navigation was relatively easy.  Youtube, however was lame.  Instead of a virtual keyboard, I had to use number keys on the remote as if I were sending text messages on my cellphone. 

I can really see using Pandora as background music for when we workout on the climbing wall.
