I am thinking of similar. Looking at either Sony S370 or Panasonic BD60 which are both below �100. Any comments from Meridian users - AndyS (?) I understand that you have the Sony but are experiencing issues. Are these player related?

More interested in use for online and networked content and DVD rather than Bluray so this possibly favours the Sony S370 (I don't think that BD60 has BBC iPlayer) but I have read that Sony have knobbled some of the genres of the online iPlayer type applications due to licensing which partly defeats the object.

Or I may simply wait it out until later in the year and upgrade my Freeview box to an HD YouView enabled box. I tried the Humax Freeview HD box but it didn't work with my DVI/HDCP TV and at the time did not have its interactive services running. I am not impressed with the Freesat channel selection which I have on my bedroom TV but BBC iPlayer on this platform is great which has prompted me to look at online services for my main TV.

Things like the Oppo do not seem to have very mature online services.
