I've had this player since Oct 2008 and have had no audio or video problems. The player performs well and movies look and sound great.
I have the video going out via HDMI and the audio via Tosink optical.
I initially could not get the player to work with my DHCP server (Linksys) and had to manually enter an IP address. A recent firmware update seems to have fixed that problem though.
The startup time is not bad at all but those things are always subjective.
I have yet to get a BDLive enabled disc so I can't comment on its BDLive performance.
Rating: - Great Blu-ray player
I have noticed some complaints about audio drops, slow loading, running hot and failure to play Blu-ray / DVD disc. I have not experienced any of these problems and have played both types of disc for a month and am very satisfied with both the audio and vidio quality of the Samsung 1500. This really a great product!

Rating: - decent little player
This is a decent player. Prefer to use my ps3 but when I bought this for my father he loved it.
Rating: - Stay away, horrible quality control.....
I've never written a Amazon review yet but had to write about my disappointment with this player. Worked fine for a month, then started having intermittent problems with playing standard discs (not recognizing them). Then playing blurays became a problem, with it freezing and skipping frames. Obviously, I tried different standard DVDs and wells several different blurays. Within 2 weeks, now it doesn't recognize ANY standard discs and still has problems with Blurays.
