Blue Ray that Plays rented Movies????


Hi All. I have a Samsung Blue Ray Player, we have had for a year or so. In fact we probably just got done paying it off. lol

Anyway, it plays all our home movies great! Plays both DVD and Blue Ray with very quick processing, which I am happy with. It also streams off NetFlicks great as well.

However if I rent a movie, and it has the slightest imperfection, it sticks, and the screen freezes and you just hear a tick tick tick sound as the disc goes round and round. We can play the same movie in our old DVD player and watch it without a hickup!

Is there another player I might be able to use, that wont be so critical, Were about at the point of hooking up the old DVD player, and just skipping using the Blue Ray with rented movies, as I have not seen one in years, that does not freeze at least once since I have owned this.

I recently purchased a BR movie on Amazon. The purchase automatically gave me 30 day access on line to that BR movie. However, it would only stream to my BR players, not my Sony TV connected via Sony's internet interface.
I haven't had many problems with my LG almost 2 years). Although when I do I wash the disc and it plays fine. I rent movies from Netflix and Red Box.
I find that my Oppo players (BDP-83 and BDP-93) will play many discs that my cheap-o Insignia wireless BD player freezes on. So, I'd have to say that you sholuld look into getting one of the Oppo players...

perhaps your samsung needs a lens cleaning, or the rented discs have so many imperfections, that cleaning the disc may help, or there may be some other problem with the samsung that needs attention.

have you brought the player to a tech ?

it is an unusual situation.
No I have not taken it to a tech, Its done this since the day we brought it home from my memory, so just thought it was a normal problem
