Hey bud, I would go with that Amazon FireTV Stick. I just downloaded the Adult Swim app, free, streams all ya want. :slight_smile:

There is a security or maybe intentional flaw in Rokuā€™s mirroring . It allows devices that are close enough to mirror even if they are not on the same WiFi . I assume itā€™s to make it easy for when a friend or family is over to connect ,but itā€™s kind of to simple . I imagine people in buildings that are right next to each other have people accidentally connecting all the time and think someone hacked thier wifi .

Well, there is a confirmation asking if you want to mirror on the device at least.

Samsung Cancels Production of New BD Players in U.S.

Iā€™d not be surprised if others pull out of the market completely as well . The Home Media market in the US is just not big enough now a days to support to much competition . Not that Samsung not making something thatā€™d break right after the warranty expired is a big loss anyway . :wink:

Thatā€™s disappointing, but Iā€™m not too surprised as Samsungā€™s BD players are so overpriced that their existing stock in the USA could easily take years to sell out :wink:

$75 for a basic Sammy bluray player at Walmart is too much, the local warehouse store sells new 4K UHD Magnavox players for that much (or $50, with coupon).

$260+ for a Samsung 4K bluray player at Walmart is also ludicrous. Itā€™s not 3x+ better than the Magnavox, and I can buy a new Xbone S console for less than that (from Walmart), which also does 4K bluray.

Could Samsung be trying to use their brand recognition to command a ā€œprice premiumā€ and consumers literally arenā€™t buying it? :roll_eyes: :rofl:

OPPO was a true premium brand, their players were used in the Audiophile community ( My other hat, please. The one with the propeller. Thank you. ) as the gold standard for CD playback. So they command Aniplex+ level pricing, especially now.

Samsung produced a good product if you could get it on sale, we did and have one of their Blu-Ray players on the Big TV downstairs.

I donā€™t think the Blu-Ray market ever really recovered from the 3D bubble a few years ago.
