Any new investors or longs who haven't yet- at a minimum- purchased an np-1 are not doing proper dd as stated by puncher. I have been thoroughly impressed with mine and how smoothly it streams- only hd at this point, but the picture is amazing! It is also impressive how much more efficient the np is than the ps3 and newer computer is. If you have any amount invested in this stock, you owe it to yourself to get one. My kids have picked right up on it and love it! I almost have my wife convinced to cut the cable and even she was skeptical at first, but I have found all her favorite shows on google play for purchase if not for free on xbmc. It was quite simple to buy a cheap app on google play and pair my ps3 controller and begin playing shooter and "real" first person games. Looking forward to the continuing content adds on Fridays! What a learning experience this has been! Thanks to Winston and Power Puncher for the sound advice.
