Update July, 2017: Streaming through this device has gone totally kaput. Our original problems with the remote straightened out, but streaming is bloody awful. Netflix stutters. Hulu just says, "nope!" in the middle of a show and shuts down. Were scrapping this thing ASAP and finding a streaming device that doesnt have to be run through Sony servers. Will keep at two stars because it still plays Blu-ray disks. *** Updating after six months of use: This unit is okay. Itll still randomly stop working but not with as much frequency as in the beginning. I did follow the recommendations in the comment under this review. Updating to two stars. If the remote were always responsive, itd be 4 stars as it does what it should, otherwise. *** Unfortunately, this turned out not to be a great purchase. At first, just the remote would randomly stop working - buttons would not respond and a re-start at the box would get things going again. Now its pretty constant, and the on/off button on the box wont respond either. After streaming a show on Amazon, for example, the screen goes black, all buttons stop responding, and the box has to be shut down at the power strip. Disappointing waste of money, and I just discovered that Ive missed the return window by ONE day. Figures! Ive had good luck with refurbished products in the past, but not this time.
