connecting LN40B750 and BDP1600 with one wireless adaptor
I am a long standing Samsung consumer with 4 Samsung TV's and a Blu Ray Player. I purchased an LN40B750 LCD TV in August. I chose that TV, in part, for it's internet and PC streaming features. I also purchased the wireless adaptor for an extra $80. A few weeks later, I purchased the BDP1600, which I also selected for its internet capability (Netflix streaming). After connecting the BDP, however, I learned that I would have to purchase a second wireless adaptor to take advantage of the BDP's streaming features, or remove the adaptor from my TV to connect the BDP. I have to say that this is extremely disappointing as a dedicated Samsung consumer who has spent a lot of money to purchase Samsung products. I am not willing to run additional wireless for an Ethernet connection through my living room and it is extremely disappointing that Samsung not only requires the purchase of a needlessly costly proprietary wireless adaptor to take advantage of the TV's connectivity features, but after spending $2000 on the TV, BDP and adaptor combined, I cannot enjoy the connectivity of both the TV and BDP unless I lay out another $80 for a second adaptor. I really think that Samsung should reconsider this strategy or it will begin to lose very loyal customers like me. If I'm missing something and both devices can run through one adaptor, please let me know how. Thanks.
