4.0 out of 5 stars The Insignia NS-2BRDVD Blu-Ray Player, November 11, 2009

I purchased this unit used to have a Blu-Ray player and an upscale DVD player. The first movie I put in the system told me that I may have to upgrade my firmware in order to play the new content. For giggles, I went to the Insignia Website and downloaded the latest firmware, created a CD and within just a few minutes had the unit working.

It is not the fastest Blu-Ray available of course, but it works great, sounds great through the optical port and is overall a great deal if you can find it for about $100 used or $150 new. Anything over that cost you can probably find a newer, faster version. Overall, I recommend this purchase to anyone looking to get into the Blu-Ray game for $100. Hope this helps.

4.0 out of 5 stars NETFLIX NETFLIX NETFLIX, December 19, 2009

I used to own a Roku and I used it almost every day for my daughter who loves all the children's programs that are available. After about 1and half years the roku broke I did a little research and found out that insignia made a blueray player for $100.00 that would stream Netflix. I got it home, did the software update, which only took 2 min, and started using the streaming video from Netflix. I love the menu for Netflix that insignia created. It was a big improvement over the Roku. The only thing I miss is that Roku also allowed Amazon videos on demand to be rented and streamed also. No I no longer have this option. I hope they upgrade it to add this option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great blu-ray player for great price!, March 2, 2010

After fooling with a Samsung BD-P1600 for literally a week trying to get the wi-fi to work, I took it back and got this Insignia for a little less. And within 2 minutes of getting it out of the box I had it hooked up to my TV via HDMI and my internet via wi-fi and was streaming a movie from Netflix. The Netfix is my favorite part about the player. It works well with my 3 MB/sec DSL connection. The movie takes about 30-45 seconds to buffer and start playing, then it works flawlessly the whole movie. Netflix has a lot of children's movies/shows for my 3 yr old, and the movie selection is not bad and growing every day

Standard DVD playing is fine with great picture quality. I haven't played a blu-ray in it yet, but if it's any better than the DVD quality, it is excellent. I have had it for a couple of weeks and all is good. I would recommend this player over a more expensive Samsung (kind of ironic that Insignia is made by Samsung).
