Great unit
I actually was looking for a dvd player after my old one broke. I was considering buying this at Amazon. But since I was heading to Costco, I decided to look there to compare prices. I bought this unit at Costco because it was almost $20 less because of a special mark down.
It was easy to set once I got home. It was just about plug and play. I connected this via wireless. The apps like Netflix and youtube came up with no problems. I did not explore the other apps. A nice feature was that the remote could control the TV as far as turning it on and off and to select input.

Good Blu-Ray/DVD Player with a lot of features
This is a good BD/DVD player with most, but perhaps not all, the features you might wish for. Maybe that is why the term "Derivative" is used but it has a lot of features.
LAN available but not used in my case. WiFi setup was quick and easy. Before you go further you may have to change the Software Update setting from USB to Online.
Once you update the software you will add Amazon Video to the list of existing apps like Netflix, Hula, YouTube, Pandora, etc. You will find a lot of apps under "Other" on the menu screen.
After you reset the Audio Out option from PCM to Bitstream (unprocessed) it will allow connection to an AV system, through a digital coax cable (not supplied), for Dolby Digital and DTS sound. Note there is no Optical Out, only Digital Coax.
Connection to the TV is only via the included HDMI cable. There are no RF, composite or component connections.
Blu Ray (BD) and DVD discs play well and streaming video is well...
Very good, but with a few important design flaws.
This is a nice, basic Blu-ray and DVD player. It is also fine for streaming Netflix movies, but I wouldn't recommend trying to edit your 'My List' through it; do that via a smartphone or on your PC, and then just access your list via this device. (Text entry via the remote is veeeery slow.)
I would NOT recommend trying to watch YouTube videos via this device, even though it supports it; the text entry is excruciatingly slow, and on top of that, the UI (just for this particular application) is also horribly laggy and clunky.
Here are some more points that anyone buying this device should probably be aware of:
(+) Plays Blu-ray, DVD, and Netflix well.
(+) Consumes just 0.2 watts of power when in standby.
(+) Very nice, slim and tiny form factor.
(-) The power-indicating LED is on *top* of the device, rather than the front -- so it's probably not visible, and you can't tell if the device is on or not. Why does this matter? Imagine:...
