Toshiba Blu Ray DVD Player

 (5 customer reviews)

Recently I went through a round of software updates while trying to get my Windows media center to play a blu-ray disc. After spending more than three hours trying to get software updates and patches installed, I was finished. This was a great price to get the device. I connected it to my WIRED network and streamed netflix movies. The interface is intuitive, and the netflix player compares to the welcome screen in netflix. Organized with titles good for kids, like recently watched, etc. For the price it is well worth it. I just hope it lasts. Would have given it five, but it didn't have Wireless streaming built in.

I believe that when companies to a great job for consumers, we as consumer should praise them with our wallets. That is the case of the Toshiba BDK21. After buying BD players from Samsung and Sony I had to return both. They both sold there players as having apps like Netflix. But when it came time to use them they did not work. I called Sony where they told me that Netflix was not available in PR. I told them that it was. That I watch it everyday. They told me they could not do anything. Toshiba took a different approach. When I opened Netflix it ask me to active the machine online. I was surprise to see that as soon I activated the device online, the machine automatically detected to activation and started working.

It really puts the other players to shame. The device is small and silent. It...Read more

Got this from Costco for 69.99 and they gave an instant $10.00 rebate so the net cost was $59.99. So the price was right. The quality is fine, nothing spectacular, just okay. The real problem I have is the unit is advertised as WIFI capable (Netflix, Pandora, etc). So at this price I jumped on the purchase only to learn you have to buy a Toshiba WLM-10UB1 IEEE 802.11n device This device is not included and without it you cannot access video streaming. The Toshiba WLM-10UB1 IEEE 802.11n costs anywhere from $45 to $55 on the Internet....so much for WIFI streaming... Maybe I missed it but you would think they would place that in large inconspicuous writing on the box (or a disclaimer)...but no, you only find this out after you connect everything and try to configure the video streaming...Would I buy it again? Well lets see, if I add the cost of the Toshiba WLM-10UB1 IEEE 802.11n the price of this unit would easily exceed $100 so at that price there's allot more viable options. Options...Read more
