Although my 9 year old Sony BDP-S570 still works flawlessly, it's obsolete... as in more and more streaming services don't work on it. Amazon Prime Video is scheduled to end support for my player in late September. It also doesn't support Hulu at all, and with the Orville moving there for season 3, I'll need something that can stream Hulu.
The other catch, is I need something with component video, which seems harder to come by these days. My system is ancient (from 2005) and I can't afford to upgrade my pre-pro at this time.
If I'm going to buy a new BD player, I may as well get a UHD 4K player to be a little more future proof as I upgrade other components down the road, but this isn't critical. My Panny plasma only supports 720p anyway, and I don't plan on replacing it until it dies. I don't know if any of these support component (obviously not for 1080p and higher).
Now I don't have to stream though a BD player, but it's nice to have both functions in one component. I could buy a separate streaming box like a Roku, but those are generally HDMI only as well.
Suggestions? I looked on Sony's site (usually where I go for BD players) but they don't seem to have ones with component video or streaming anymore.
Thanks...
