Bob, If you don't yet have a blu-ray player, buy one with smart features built in - web browser, streaming youtube and other stuff. Sony claims you can use a keyboard on a smartphone/iOS device

From B&H Photo's description of the Sony BDP-S590 ($128) "Chances are you may have an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Android-based smartphone, or even a Sony tablet. If so, you're in luck -- in addition to running apps, web browsing, text messaging or whatever else you do with your portable devices -- you can download a remote control app specifically for your BDP-S590. It gives you a full keyboard and movie information search capabilities right from your device. Very cool!"

I haven't tried this. I'd love to have an app for our Samsung Blu-ray, because YouTube searches are a chore on the thing with the remote control. But then again, we paid about $115 3 years ago for ours.
