Plays discs. OK, even played most home-made BD-R and AVCHDs

Network VERY bad. Couldn't go for a minute or two on NetFlix or YouTube before it hung. Had to use the XBox or even the Wii (yes I was that desperate) to stream video. This on wireless and wired network as well ; Oh and the remote is VERY uncomfortable...
