However my samsung smart tv works great, as did the roku. All three devices were hardwired to a bridged router.
Just recently I picked up a chromecast and it works pretty well also.

Oh duh, totally forgot about the device... the Sony Blu-Ray we have is not working so great so I am planning on a new smart Blu-Ray player... which opens another big can of worms (We are using dish network now for just TV-DVR)
Not a fan of Sony because the one we have is just a few years old and sporadic (yes, I have done the software upgrades)
Sad to hear you don't like your Samsung, I'm a big fan of their products, was kind of thinking of getting one of their smart Blu-ray's (flat screen is Samsung but not a smart one).
Also a big fan of Panasonic, maybe one of their smart BD players?
I have heard good things about Roku (we have a bunch of their SSVP here at work) but as I said would like to upgrade the BD player and seems like they all have built in browsers now.
