| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Great value and lots of content, By This review is from: Sony Streaming Network Media Player SMP-NX20 (Electronics) Product: The Sony appears to be the "odd duckling" in the media player market. I saw and purchased it at Costco for $59, and that included the HDMI cable - a great deal, considering the cable being worth about twenty bucks by itself. The media player itself is fairly big, compared to say a Roku or Apple TV. I like the very solid and heavy feel of the player and the fact it doesn't move around just because a cable is plugged into the back. When turned on it glows blue in front, which is rather cool. The remote is absolutely great - easy to use, intuitive, with a very logical layout. Sony offers an app for Android phones for the remote, which makes entering text in search really easy, and you can access the player anywhere inside the house (i.e. changing songs on Pandora when stepping out of the shower!). The user interface appears to be Sony's own creation, and it resembles the one of the Xbox with vertical and horizontal menu choices. Type font on the menu choices is abysmally small,...

Setup including update took 10 minutes max. I connect it to internet through cable and not a wifi(since the cable was right next to it, i though it's more reliable) i've already watched many movies(Amazon, Netflix & Crackle) and listen to different radio (slacker and Pandora)stations for hours and i have to tell you picture and sound is perfect and not a glitch. The only complain i have is, The Icon for movies selection in Amazon or netflx are so small, I have to go with 3-5 feet if i want to see the picture of the icons and my T.V. is 52 inch 1080p LCD screen. Remote control is very light and has a decent range and is very easy to use. You can conrol this unit with your smart phone as well. You also have 2 choices for power consumption, 1) Fast start without delay or 2) Slower start with more power savings. I've not tried 3D feature as i don't have 3D television.Last year i purchased Sony SMP-N100 and that was perfect too but... Read more Overall, pretty happy, By The one with all the toys (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony Streaming Network Media Player SMP-NX20 (Electronics) After my dog chewed up the remote to my SMP-N200 I found out that a new remote would cost me around $45. Since I have 2 TVs I decided to just spend the extra $10 to get another one - this SMP-NX20. The two units are identical except for the fact that the NX20 comes with an HDMI cable (which alone was worth that extra 10 bucks) as well as the standard 3 way. The same remote works on both of them, although I would have liked if I could have been able to program a universal remote rather than having to buy a second unit.(Oddly, I did find that the remote for my new TV does work for pausing and fast forwarding on it, but I can't use it to turn the unit on or off.) The unit itself is small and light and easy to hook up. It turns on quickly and only takes a few moments to connect, and I use wireless with it. It only takes a one-time setup to get it working with accounts such as Hulu, Amazon and Netflix. I have very rarely (maybe two or three times) had any disruption in... Read more |
