you can hook the a2 directly up to your modem with an ethernet cable for the update. you need a tv next to your modem, or an ethernet cable long enough to reach from your modem to your tv.
Yep, OK now I remember ... the long distance we have between the closest TV and the modem was the reason I didn't download the 2.5 version direct to the A2, I forgot about that.

Rick, just wondering if you have had any other problems with other HD DVDs, I watched the Bourne Identity Tue. on the day it was released from Netflix and it locked up on me twice, after rubbing the disc clean it seemed to work okay, but that is the first time I've had an issue with any HD movies. Has anyone else had a problem with this movie?
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I had a SD copy hiccup somewhere in the middle. Not a total freeze but it sure wasn't pretty. Today I had the same thing happen with the new Die Hard (SD) movie.

Michael this was a brand new disc out of the box but after the first lockup I did take a look at the disc and didn't notice anything unusual but still wiped it anyway, the second lockup occurred at the exact same time (:57:20) at which time I just parked it. We watched about half of the SD-DVD POTC 'At Worlds End' this evening without nary the first hitch.
No problems with any of the other HD disc we've watched but we have had it skip a couple of times with at least three SD movies we've watched. Whenever we were watching the SD-DVD version of The Aviator it started skipping quite often, I rebooted the A2 and everything was fine during the heavy skipping parts and for the remainder of the movie.

I will guess these lock-ups are at the layer break and will happen from time to time. I had a Sony DVD player that had a very hard time with layer breaks so I returned it.

Jason, what do mean by layer breaks? I've noticed that it doesn't take much of anything to have either one of our Sony MegaChangers skip, the least little scratch or dust and they will skip.
