Zackly! I had my tv setup like that for years too, its not even that much greater in quality either, and is in fact cheaper just to use the tuner. Then again, the majority of my shows just come off the net anyways, so why stream something from a box which just uses bandwidth from my internet anyways? Well the answer is simple, because people are stupid, and won't realize at first it does use bandwidth, and will sucker into these boxes as the next best gimmick. Honestly wish I had thought of selling it first.

Instructions are less than perfect and software is Beta and not supported by Sony. I cannot find anything about it in recent posts. Instructions point to areas not included on TV's built in software.
