hi guys.

i'm thinking about buying Panasonic DMP-BDT220EB.

i've noticed that it has skype. do i need a tv with a webcam built-in or can I just use a normal webcam ? don't really understand how does it work.

thanks

You have to buy Panasonic's own special webcam. As far as I know this won't work with any other webcam.

cam somebody tell me - how does the panasonic players work with subtitles in files ? does it even work ? i was looking at the DMP-BDT120EB too. can they support streaming over the network ? I currently use o!play for this, but thought about getting a BR player and taking the o!play upstairs.

I have the DMP-BDT120 and streaming DLNA from a Win7 PC - no problems. Works well.

But, I just tried an AVI with subtitles in a separate SRT file and no subs.

I have recently purchased this camera for my 2011 TV works great, has anyone actually tried this out with someone who has the same identical camera on their TV's with a good broadband Ethernet connection, if you have, has the quality been 720pHD as suggested by Panasonic, would be interesting to hear views
