accessing internet via blu ray player and dongle

markandkate

Hi we use Virgin Media and have a wireless net work in the house. We have a HD "ready" TV (not Sony)approx 3 years old and a Sony Blu ray player with dongle. We can access BBC i Player and 5 on demand but not the other stations. We access i Player and other sites such as You Tube by clicking on a link similar to an app but I can see no way of accessing the internet to get the ITV or Channel 4 players. I don't really want to buy any other equipment but want to be able to access these channels can any one advise please? thanks

If there is no internet browser on the bluray player then you are limited to what applications it has built into it or ones that Sony may care to develop.
Does Virgin not have catchup TV players built in to its service?

A Virgin V+ or TiVO box has catch-up players built in.

I know I can buy things and can subscribe to different services but I was hoping that there was some way of browsing the internet using the existing equipment or possibly replacing the dongle. thanks any way

Afraid not, often these internet browsers are not full internet browsers. They don't have flash (or other software) needed to run these.
