Thanks...no new purchases for me until after I sell a house though. We are staring at two mortgages if our places doesn't sell in the next month. Anyone want to buy a townhouse in PA?

Firmware Update Version: 2.7 came out Tue. This firmware update adds support for 1080p/24Hz output and for more on-screen language display options. In addition, this firmware update improves network connectivity for 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.
Looks like they finally fixed the 1080p/24HZ problem. I'll be curiouse to see how this affects playback. Updating my XA2 now. Funny, the disc they just sent me was v2.5/T23... Even though my D2 player is limited to 1080i, is there any benefit to downloading and installing the v2.7 update? Scott

That I'm not sure about, mdrew may have the answer since he is one of the more technically proficient members in regards to this kind of stuff. I have read that it does improve SD playback on models like the A20 if your monitor can support the higher frame rate.

It may fix issues like disc compatibility and sound droput problems. Probably still worth the upgrade.

2hr 44min close enough for you? Directions The family room has a nice layout for a big screen TV and two good walls to put the surround speakers on. Always a plus with this crowd.

Funny, I just made most of that drive last Friday, when I picked up my little brother from Philly. He's college-bound next year and was checking out Temple University as they have a good cello program there. So, thanks for the offer, but a commute like that would kill me. I drive 8 miles to work right now.

Thanks for the info. As usual, they are SOOO informative about the reason for the upgrade... Anyone here knows why Toshiba doesn't say anything about the actual content of their upgrades? (the info on the link is their standard text for months and is so generic that it does not mean anything). I wish I were able to determine if I need those upgrades or not! This is not a risk-free process, my previous A20 flashdisk died on me...
