LG SP520 Smart TV Upgrader Built-In WiFi - Black Reviews
| 24 of 26 people found the following review helpful  awful product, This review is from: LG SP520 Smart TV Upgrader Built-In WiFi - Black (Electronics) I bought this product on sale at a local Fry's for 29.99. Even with the wireless router in the same room with the product with no security I could not get a wireless connection. A software "upgrade" that could not be declined nor reverted removed the Amazon video app -- my primary reason for purchasing the device. Were it not for the 40 mile roundtrip and 15% restocking fee I would be returning this device.I tried to submit a review on the lg website more than one week ago and lg apparently has declined to publish as there are still 0 reviews of the product over there. 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful  Great little streaming device! Great price, By John"CA" "Johndoe01" (Golden State) - See all my reviews This review is from: LG SP520 Smart TV Upgrader Built-In WiFi - Black (Electronics) Like most people here, I bought this at Fry's for $29.99, cheapest streaming, media player device you could find anywhere. First of all, for those that gave this one star, it's not fair for LG. No device is perfect and so is this one, it can't satisfy all of our needs. I have to agree that one major flaw is that the wifi reception of this device sucks and it doesn't remember my password setting! Quite a few times, when I turned it on, I had to reenter the password. Now are the good parts: the remote control feel nice the your hand, not too small, not too big, ergonomic and has just enough buttons. And so is the content apps, it has Netflix, Hulu Plus, Vudu, CinemaNow, Pandora, YouTube (YES, YouTube is still there), even Google Map! Amazon is on the cover of the box but I don't know why it's not there any more :( The menu, user interface is clean, especially with Netflix, it's just exactly like on Roku (and yes, it does have closed captioning feature, unlike most of the streaming...

After purchasing the unit I took it home and set it up to confirm it worked and update the firmware and set it up. First thing I noticed was the total lack of wifi reception with the router located in the next room. I ran a wired connection and hoped that an update would fix this, and it did not. I set the LG SP520 literally next to the router and had full wifi reception, however at a mere 10ft away in the same room with an unobstructed line of sight to the router the reception dropped to 1 bar. Any further then 10-12ft or a wall in the way and a wifi connection can't be established. This is running the latest updates and firmware as of Sept. 14th.Once I gave up on using wifi I decided I'd explore the functionality and ease of use of the device. Frankly, it sucks. To utilize netflix you have to access the 'Premium' content icon, select netflix then choose either the full flavor or child friendly version of... Read more |
