There's nothing better than enjoying a film on your home cinema system. And if you're a fan of the movies then you'll want to make sure you buy a television and blu-ray player that supports 24p True Cinema. (Sometimes called 24p Real Cinema). The DMP-BD60 is capable of 24p playback. This means that the blu-ray player shows each frame of the film at a the exact rate it was filmed at. You may not have noticed in the past but older TVs weren't capable of this and had to subtly adjust the speed of the movie to match the TV. 24p shows films exactly at the same rate you'd get in a movie theatre. The reason this matters is that the movie will play much smoother with 24p.
BD-Live works with Blu-ray players and the Internet to bring you extra content related to the disc you've bought or rented. So what kinds of things can you get with BD-live?
Who is BD-Live important to? Well if you've always enjoyed watching the extra features found on DVD movies (and later on Blu-ray movies) then you'll likely get a kick out of BD live. To get it, you'll need a Blu-ray player, such as the DMP-BD60 that's BD Live compatible. (Most are these days) and a broadband internet connection. To get the best out of BD-Live, you'll need to update your player with the latest firmware. This can be done at the manufacurer's website. There's a really good page from the Sony website here showing some examples of what BD-Live can do.

Viera Cast has an easy-to-use interface that lets you choose what you want to watch. One user at AV Forums commented:
"...the interface is superb, it quick and easy to find just what you want, and, the vids themselves actually look pretty darn good on the panny even in full screen. thats variable of course, but most the content i watch handles the full screen very well indeed."
Here's a video on youtube showing some of Viera Cast's features that came out in 2011.
