A:AnswerSince the 2010 Samsung internet enabled devices (like the BD-C5500) do not offer a traditional browsing experience, do not offer the ability to save unofficial content and collects all of its internet information through Applications that go through Samsung's servers, the chance of getting malicious content is very low.

A:AnswerSamsung's internet capable devices (including the BD-C5500) will offer subscription based services like Netflix, Vudu and Hulu Plus (Hulu Plus is available on select 3D BD players and Internet@TV TVs); however, access to regular broadcast material, as provided by your cable or satellite provider, may not be accessible. That said, I would suggest contacting your service provider for further information on their own services.
