It was still $1099.99 from 6Ave.com and it looks like I'll just be able to get the new feature pack direct from Denon at N/C...assuming everything goes OK when I plug the receiver into my router!

Still not networked here, but when I bought my HDMI cables (Parts Express had them on sale for $3 each) I also bought a 50' Belkin Cat5e cable for $5.88. I figured I'd just temporarily hardwire it (AND the BluRay player AND the Toshiba HD-DVD player) to the router for updates as needed...

Someday I'll get this network set up!
