Q. What is it? How do you use it? Do you need a special device to play it? Help I am so confused!
Answer
Blu-ray is one of two candidate technologies for a new design for next-generation DVD discs, for both high definition movies, as well as ultra high capacity computer data discs. Blu-ray is named because the lasers used in the drives operate in the 'blue' portion of the light spectrum. They can provide 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (2-layer.)
You can buy Blu-ray drives for your PC, but they are very limited (if even available) for videos. The drives are costly because the production volumes are not very large and there is not a lot of competition.
The other disc technology candidate is HD-DVD, which will also play regular DVD discs. (Blu-ray discs are not compatible with either HD-DVDs or regular DVDs.)
Blu-ray discs provide significantly higher capacity and don't need to be flipped over to play the 2nd side, like HD-DVD discs need to. (Or else the HD-DVD player needs two sets of laser heads to read both top and bottom sides.) HD-DVD supports only 15 GB per side, with a max of 30 GB.
The computer and movie industries are divided about which next-gen DVD to support. There are companies supporting one, but not the other, and the big stumbling block is the movie industry, which doesn't want to make 2 versions of every HD movie.
Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson are in the Blu-ray camp.
Toshiba leads the HD DVD consortium, which also includes consumer electronics manufacturers Sanyo and NEC. Entertainment companies on board are HBO, New Line Cinema, Paramount Home Entertainment, Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Warner Home Video.

How do you get HBO go on a onkyo Blu-ray player?
Scrolling
Answer
First off you must have a cable or disc network provider and also pay for the HBO service. But your blu ray disc player will only streamline movies from netflex etc. Hope this will help you out.
