My Panasonic TV could play BBC i-player over it's Freesat connection. However, I now have SKYHD and that of course does not provide you with the option of i-player (unless I re-wire the satellite cables each time).
I've read that Sony Blu-Ray players can access i-player via their ethernet connections - is this also true of Panasonic players? Is there likley to be any firmware updates that will allow Panasonic TV's to access i-player directly via their ethernet connections or is it only available via Freesat?
I'm looking to get a Blue-Ray player at the weekend and there doesn't seem much difference between the brands but I feel like I've missed out on some functionality now that I've lost i-player because of the SKYHD box.
If Sony offers i-player and Panasonic doesn't/won't/can't then maybe a Sony player is the solution.
