My wish list has been Netflix, Vudu, Amazon Streaming, Cinemanow, along with other features like Hulu, DLNA support, 1080P and apps to support future services. It is very hard to find a device that will do all of this. However, I thought my prayers were answered in the form of the LG ST600. Well, now that I got it, I'm happy but a little disappointed.Pros: - Streams Netflix, Vudu, Cinemanow, Youtube and a bunch of minor music and other video services - Supports both 2.4 and 5 Ghz wireless LANs. Not a common feature. Also has an Ethernet connection if you don't have wireless - Easy to setup - Does have an app store (see cons) - Netflix interface is a lot better than what I have seen on other LG devices, though still not as sweet as the XBOX's - The Vudu app for pay per view is great -...

I have owned the ST600 for about three weeks and have been extremely satisfied with its performance and features. Contrary to some of the reviews, the only important video service not available yet is Hulu Plus, which is coming soon according to LG. I have been using services from Amazon, Netflix, and Youtube with no glitches or problems. I also enjoy Napster and MOG as well for music. One feature I really like is the ability to stream audio and video from other devices on my network. I can play mp3, mv4, avi, mkv files, and photos from my computer. It won't play protected files. Another very cool feature uses the USB port. I can play files from a portable hard drive or a thumb drive.My unit has had two updates since I purchased it and both increased features and functions. True, it does have some useless "apps", but they were free so I don't let them bother me. I don't really use the...

You need to setup the unit and immediately do the firmware update. After the update and a rather long install process (several minutes), you will need to turn the unit on again. There are three vertical menu boxes. Go to the one labeled "Premium", go to the "+" and click it. A new menu (more familiar to us LG TV and BD owners) will load. You've got Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon, Vudu, Cinema Now, MLB, MOG (wow!), Napster, Pandora, NHL, Youtube, and about six others. Everything works...*****YES YES YES, the LG ST600 does DLNA streaming. It picks up ALL the servers in my house, including the all important Twonky server (which the Sony streaming box refused to detect). Full 1080P streaming is supported. Some caveats include its inability to read some audio codecs. If you stick to AC3, you should be good... And finally, the web browser is slow and the lack of a keyboard makes it...... a challenge to... Read more |
