Which (cheap) players have wireless for BDLive

[SSEiYah]

the last thing I want to do is drill holes in my floor to run a 150 foot cat 5 cable across the entire house.

I want to use BD-Live in the living room but my Panasonic BD-35 only has an Ethernet Jack.

I am not aware of any options that will turn that ethernet jack into a wireless card so I was thinking about putting the Panasonic in the bedroom and replacing it with one with wireless.

What are my options? I dont see much out there yet.

the ps3 is probably the cheapest with wireless. I think Sony has one and samsung has one and an LG. If you look at the top of the site there is a place that says players and that will give you all the specs

Google "Homeplug". Keep the BD-35.

The Electronic Companies are finding out that Ethernet is the best way to go for Video. Wireless is not as reliable as Ethernet, and this is very important when you do the Firmware updates. Also if you want to Stream Video you will need the bandwidth. Wireless for Video will give you nothing but trouble.

The option you're not aware of is a wireless bridge.

That is an interesting product and if it works that is not a bad price. I need something like that for my Blu-ray player upstairs.

I ended up buying this at Amazon on Wednesday

Received it today, plugged it into the wall socket near my router and the other near my player, works instantly! No software to install, just plug and play. Hooked it up to the Samsung BD-P2500 and I was able to stream an HD quality episode of The Office. Only took about 20 seconds to buffer. I only watched 15 minutes but the video never stalled and I didn't notice any compression artifacts come up. For $78.99 shipped, I couldn't happier to finally utilize my player to stream movies.
