I've got a Panny BR recorder and they are excellent. As a DLNA client the interface is a bit clunky, although I haven't tested this aspect to any great extent recently. They also don't have a WiFi capability and have to be either hard wired or connected to a bridge if you want to access a NAS of any kind. As Ian suggests, check out the spec and see if will fulfil your needs. Also check out the user threads on AV Forums.
