At the urging of Mrs. Chieftain, we just purchased a Samsung Blue Ray/DVD player with wifi capabilities, primarily to access Netflix, but it does a whole lot of other things like access Facebook and YouTube if you sign up and register, which I am very reluctant to do.
However, installing it could not have been simpler. I unplugged and removed the old disk player, and replaced it with this one, using the same HDMI cable. The only other thing to connect is the power. Once I turned it on I was able to set it up and program it entirely without consulting the instruction book. The controls and screens are intuitive and user friendly and its too bad these people aren't designing State exchange websites as well.....
Wifi access on our bigscreen is new, so while the jury is still out, things are looking up....
