    I use the thumb drive connection on my TV and my Blu-Ray player. If I dont feel like copying to the thumb drive, I just go HDMI. I recently got a full Blu Ray surround sound system for $150 and I've seen some really nice players for $75

    LG has some nice wireless internet bluray players with the USB ports and services like Youtube, CinemaNow, and VUDU for under $100. Its kind of the logic of low cell phone prices with those things, they keep the cost down because you are more than likely going to subscribe or use the services. That Netflix is a life saver when I need to keep my kid busy while I work or want to catch up on shows, and Cinema Now and VUDU both have pretty much every movie you would want for rent for one time fees or you can buy them.

    For the TV shows and movies I stream from sites like ProjectFreeTV.com or when I have to use those off shore sites to watch football, I just use the mini-dv to HDMI port on my laptop and it works great. Just plug and play.

    To answer the question in the thread title.

    You turn your TV on, tune it to the channel you want to watch, find a comfortable seat, and enjoy.

    For the guys that say they have or do play movies off of a flash drive through their BR/DVD player, does it play certain formats? avi, mpeg, mp4, moved, etc..

    most of the formats are listed on the box when you are shopping. That is one reason I bought LG at home and work, it read the most types of files.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    depends what your movies are encoded with... if they are downloaded rips from torrent sites they are most likely xvid which most tv's and blue rays cant read.

    that isn't true, I use kick ass all the time and I have never once had a problem with my smart tv or my dvd player reading any files. most torrents are mkv, avi or mpeg4. All LG brand players read all these types of files

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    I'm thinking of just getting a computer to hook up to the living room TV, and thus watch everything that is streamed. Our entertainment systems and computers are all becoming pretty much so inter-mingled, that everything will be over the net anyway. So having a computer as your entertainment center really IS the way to go.

    Cokeandpopcorn.eu Is awesome.

    Been with them since they went on the air and I've never had a problem with customer service. Maybe I'm just lucky.

    Either that, or I was just unlucky. Still, it's hard to change your first impression.
