Do you have a router or switch to which you can connect the Oppo?

Generally, the modem (I do not know what Uverse calls their box) is connected to a router and that distributes signals to the computer and other connected devices.

BTW, do not expect exceptional sound from Netflix. DD but none of the hd codecs.

I think it is Ethernet as the only choice (if I read the back of the Uverse box correctly) - PhilJ 09:34:32 08/05/12 (6)
also I have a hookup speed of 11.5 mbps which is borderline from what I have read.

I am not sure what "DD but none of the hd codecs" means (I presume HD means high def sound?), I use stereo sound but the sound quality is the only thing I care about.

thankyou

  If you want to connect more than one thing to the box, though, you need a router.

      You do. However, although I have never seen a Uverse device, from the discussion here, their box seems to include a router in it.

        obviously I do not know what I want and am just beginning the search
        
        I will call Uverse to confirm about the use of the extra Ethernet slot
        
        best,

        There are quite a few media streamers available. Apple TV is a good one, another one I would take a look at is the Roku 2 XS.

        I like the price, amazing all the options available, the future of TV I guess... - PhilJ 14:33:44 08/06/12 (0)
