I am upgrading my a2 right now via ethernet.
I just got doen watching italian job (one of my 5 freebies) and it skipped/slowed down/had a bunch of fragments or something. The disc is brand new, not a scratch or a smudge on it.
Hopefully I am not experiencing some of the skipping that rickf is talking about

Hopefully I am not experiencing some of the skipping that rickf is talking about Terzaghi don't be surprised if it is a bad disc. Our brand new Bourne Ultimatum disc did the very same thing and as a last resort I took the disc back to the store and replaced it with another new Ultimatum disc, problem solved! All along I was believing it was the player ... which after everything was said and done it did indeed turn out to be a bad player but the repeated problem with the player was that it would drop the picture and go to a blue screen for a few seconds at a time. We just picked up The Italian Job and watched it yesterday, great flick. Hope you get your problem taken care of. Also... Anybody who has uploaded the new 2.8 firmware onto these players, can you tell any difference at all? I'll do the upgrade after I get home from work today, now that I know how ... thanks Rick!

From Toshiba's website: This firmware update improves support for 1080p/24Hz OUTPUT and auto mode(for HD-A20 and HD-XA2), improves network connectivity supporting the download of web-enabled network content associated with certain HD DVD discs, and also addresses certain disc playback and HDMI/DVI related issues identified by Toshiba. In addition, this firmware update provides High Bit Rate Audio functionality for the HD-XA2 player. When integrated through the HDMI connection to a 7.1 capable multi-channel A/V receiver, High Bit Rate Audio has the potential to offer the latest in high definition surround sound. Full details of the 2.8 firmware package So it is a little vague in the benefit, but that doesn't mean that it isn't important or significant. FYI. It took me over 20 minutes to update via ethernet last night. It is about 50MB, but I have a pretty fast internet connection. It does take time, that's for sure.
