Sony BDP-S770 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi

Sony BDP-S770 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi
This was a very easy install. I am using it in my living room with the following components: 
Sony Bravia DLP 55" XBR8 HDTV 
Sony 40" 3D Sound Bar System (HT-CT350) 
NETGEAR Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2501 
DIRECTV Plus® HR24 High Definition MPEG-4 HD DVR 
Logitech Harmony 700 Remote 

The entire install took less than 2 hrs to set-up all the devices to the existing TV...and this includes removing the existing DVD player and speakers, cleaning the dust bunnies out of the area, and taking everything out of the packaging prior to the actual install. The Netgear Powerline Adapter by itself is most excellent due to it's plug and play capability. The Soundbar was extremely easy to set-up as well. The remote was the thing that took the longest due to having to program it. 

I had to purchase an extra digital optical audio cable (1 came in the box) and HDMI cable. The TV, BluRay, and Satellite box connect to the subwoofer part of the soundbar via HDMI; and both the TV and Satellite box also connect to the subwoofer with the digital audio cable. A very clean installation. 

In the end, I have 1 remote for all devices, streaming network via Ethernet and WiFi for Netflix, Hulu+, and Pandora; and no big bulky speakers for the dogs to knock over. The sound is excellent and the streaming is fast. And it looks really good. My TV isn't 3D, but when I'm ready, I have everything else I need for it.
