other content via SMP-N100

[james_b]

can anyone shed any light on what other services are available via the new SMP-N100 streaming box that's just come out?

i know of the LoveFilm, iPlayer, Five on Demand and of course Qriocity, but what else? anyone know?

i've asked the Qriocity support people and those at sony, but i might've well asked my cat. (she watches more TV than me anyway).

many thanks

JB.

The Netbox offers the same content as other BRAVIA Internet Video devices - http://www.sony.co.uk/hub/bravia-lcd-televisions/2/2/article/id/1237477951536 . There should be a full list at this page. Was there something you were after in particular?

Thanks

thanks for your reply eduzzel.

i've just set up the box - and i can confirm it has most of the bravia content mentioned, except for flickr, facebook and ebay. this may be a widget thing? - something i've not noticed; it may or may not be available via this box.

i read somewhere it had 4oD, but it doesn't appear to be true. maybe it'll become available at a later date. i hope so!

the BBC HD looks amazing.

the Qriocity on-demand looks pretty good as well. top price seems to be £4.99 for an HD movie. i think lovefilm is £9.99/month.

thanks again,

JB.

Lovefilm pricing is variable - indeed there is a special 30 day trial available thhis month if you want to try it out if you look at one of the threads near this one.

The widgets are only available on some of the NX model TV's. BBC HD content is incredible. My contacts there tell me that iPlayer on Sony Blu-ray/Netbox is their favourite version of iPlayer on any platform as its super simple to use and offers HD content.

We are launching new services all the time. Next one is Sky News tomorrow.

Thanks

thanks for the info. (you work for sony then!?)

the iPlayer is indeed superb! especially the HD channel.

fingers crossed that 4oD come onboard as well - don't suppose you can tell me anymore on that! having channel 4 on demand would be the best. then i'd buy another box for my dad!

i will update tomorrow for sky news.

thanks again,

JB

Good morning,

is there any update on ITV player and 4OD, or any new features, being added to the box please? i have recently bought one and think it's great, but could do with these 2, which you would think are pretty standard? thanks
