Bravia Internet Video Link:
The unit works great with the Bravia TV. The HD download worked and look forward to more availability.
My cable modem service doesn't seem to be fast enough:
Like many of the other reviewers, I often getting choppy video. I was using a wireless connection, but switched to a wired Ethernet to speed things up. It is better, but still not good enough. I've clocked my cable service at about 2.5 Mbps, but it varies by time of day and day of week of course. I'm hoping to switch to fiber soon. That may give me the faster, consistent bandwidth that is needed for this product.
try vudu instead:
The Sony BIVL is a cool concept but as typical with Sony its a half baked product. If you want the best VOD system with the highest quality picture available you should check out the Vudu VBX1000. Movie selection is awesome with over 6000 titles in both SD and HD quality plus TV shows and the AVN channel. The box is expensive but well worth the price for the superior GUI and integration features if you have any type of advanced remote control system.

Mostly I want to underline what the other reviewers have said. The U-Tube videos (and many others) look positively horrible on my big high-def screen, and the search function is clunky, since you have to enter your searches, passwords, etc. via a phone-like display using your remote control. The other sources of content are mostly garbage. Thousands of channels of it - but garbage nonetheless. (Movie trailers for example. Yippee.) I suppose we can hope that over time, the content will improve. Until it... more info
