Pandora is now live on the BD85, in Viera cast.

Was there a release today?

 

[gadgtfreek]

No, it was activated on the last update, but something had to come from the servers. It's verified as being active now, by a 85 owner on AVS.

 

[teachsac]

I'll have to check my 350 and see if it showed up in the VierraCast menu.

Its supposed to look pretty good. My DSL modem took a dump this weekend, so my HSI is down for a few days.

 

[teachsac]

Please be nice, but what is Pandora and how does it work? I have the Pan. BD65. Thanks.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Pandora radio, do a little reading on it. I had not used it until recently, but I'm hooked. You create a channel with one artist, then you like or dislike songs/artists as it goes along. It will use your ratings to tailor each channel to your liking. I pick an artist from a genre, then use my ratings to make the channel what I want, depending on my mood.

Very cool

 

[teachsac]

Yeap. I even did the upgrade to get past the 40 hours per month. Well worth it.

[gadgtfreek]
