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.

I've updated mine as well but haven't played a movie on the new firmware. Also has toshibo boosted the LFE analog channel in this firmware?

I have heard reports that Transformers Blackout base attack has more LFE...I have yet to update my A20 and test it.

Cool. Even though I can download it on my PC and make a disk, this will be my incentive to get my network jacks connected in my A/V rack and plug it in that way to try that out. Besides, then I can get the online extras too. Thanks for the heads up.

They also added DTS-HD:M decoding. I believe I am why they came out with this update. I didn't believe they would, so I bought the A35........dammit.

Updated my 2 HD-A2s with 2.7 the other night. All went well, but not sure what it changed on the A2--perhaps just some compatibility issues.

Reading over on the Audioholics site it sounds like some folks are having a difficult time downloading the 2.1 firmware update on some media, I'm curious if anyone here is have the same problems? Also somebody there said the 2.7 update improved the disc loading time on the A2. 2.7 Firmware Update Thread

So what is the opinion of this newest firmware, is it worth it?
Oh heck with it I just updated it anyway. Now I have to watch a movie. I just got SRV in so I think I'll give it a spin. I just hope it helps with load times. This thing is painfully slow.

I have a technical question. I'm tired of waiting for Toshiba to send me my update disk, and I don't have access to an ethernet connection (wireless). I've been able to download the updates to my desktop, but that's as far as I can go.
I'm running a Mac and want to know if there is some software I can download that will help me open the update files so I can burn them to a disk?
