Blu-Ray player with built in WiFi and Netflix browsing?
I am looking for a Blu ray player that has built in WiFi and ability to browse netflix categories/add movies to my queue through the Blu ray player.
I recently bought (and since returned) the Samsung BD-C6500. Besides the Netflix browsing wish above, the other thing I disliked was the WiFi connection itself. It took a long time to load a Netflix movie. Then during playback, I wanted to skip back a couple of scenes and it also seemed to take forever.
Also at one point playback stalled and seemed to be buffering, took almost a full minute before the movie began to play again. I don't think this is an issue with my WiFi connection, as I have been streaming Netflix over our Wii with no issues - able to rewind/forward quickly, and I have never had a movie pause and buffer.
Any suggestions for a player that will suit my needs?

You have not mentioned your wifi speed, or broadband speed. Those are the first places to look for such issues.
