Question about Pioneer 5020FD
Ok guys so I got my Pio 5020FD its awesome.
So now I actually have 3 questions about the tv because I noticed an ethernet port and a usb port on the television.
First off
With the ethernet port.
I would assume I can use this to stream things directly off my pc my question is do I just connect the ethernet wire directly to my router and my router will pick up my tv? If that is the case where is the menu on the tv to get it to connect to my pc? I'm a little confused how I will be able to stream things directly to my tv via the ethernet port?
Also this tv has a USB port if I plug my usb stick into there I am assuming there is some type of menu on the tv that I can go too to access all the files on my USB stick? (With the remote?)
And finally I'm pretty sure you can't do this but it would be really cool if we could.
Let's assume I have a wireless USB stick can I plug my wireless usb stick inside my tv and have my tv connected to my network wirelessly? If I can how would I go about doing that because that would be super cool and it would eliminate the need for me to pass an ethernet wire from my pc to the back of my tv
Thanks!

The only way to get wireless internet to the TV is with a wireless bridge. They can be a little expensive, around $100. A normal USB wirless adapter won't work. For one thing, it requires drivers which obviously don't exist for a TV.
Doesn't your remote have a button that says "Media Gallery," or something like that? That should bring up the menu to choose files from a USB stick or a PC on the network. I believe the menu also automatically pops up when you insert a USB stick.
To set up the network stuff, I recommend reading the manual.

I just ordered a 5020FD and I'm trying to figure out how to get the set to become a part of my home network. I was thinking I could buy a "wireless access point" and plug it into the enthernet port on the TV.
Did you ever get this working? I presume if it was close to the router you could just run an ethernet cable to the TV, but my router is on the other side of the house.
