    Sony Blue ray/Dvd player with wifi and netflix (bdp5200) €139. With out wifi Samsung or Sony do one about €70/€80
    Dvd playes don't support netflix because of copy protection

    I think it's more to do with the fact that DVD players these days are at the lower end of the price range and so typically do not support 'Smart TV' functionality like YouTube, Netflix etc. so you really have to go for Blu-Ray.

    Or get a second hand PS3 if you can find one cheap enough, it's Netflix implementation is typically a lot better than whats on smart BD boxes as it has much better hardware CPU/GPU wise so you get a slicker interface.

    Get the Bluetooth DVD/BD remote for it and just use it for those features.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't get a notification there had been any replies to this sorry it took so long to get back to you.

    I went out to buy a smart bluray player and came home with a sony smart tv!!

    So I have netflix sorted, if I could figure out a way to watch the USA netflixs on the tv I'd be sorted.

    I knew it was on xbox but didn't realise it was on ps3. Thanks for that :)
