Will it work with SDHC cards?

Mainly, what is a good functional size of SD card to install? I always like to err on the more side than the minimum side, especially since SD memory is so cheap.

Anyone put a card in and accessed BD-live? What was your experience?
Thanks,

I use an 8GB SDHC card. Works like a charm. As for is it worth it? The only thing we somewhat enjoyed is host a viewing on HP5 with HDDVD. Everything else in either format I have found worthless.

Yeah, I have a 4gig Class 6 SDHC and have yet to really use it.

SD cards are up to 2GB. SDHC cards are up to 32GB. The player supports both formats.

Has anyone checked prices and availability lately. Out of stock everywhere and Amazon has them listed at 450 -35k and 399 -55k

We'll see what Panasonic has to say at CES. As I reported at the beginning of the thread before it even came out, I heard from my rep that the 35 might be discontinued and they'll be consolidating into one model (the 55) to save costs. The 35 might have met its production run.

Looking that way. Not a bad move IMHO.

Elwaylite,
After ordering your 1909, how many days did it take for 6Ave to ship your unit? Did you use the free shipping or expedited?

Maybe it was an Xmas overload of orders, but I ordered mine from 6Ave on Sunday 12/28. It did not actually leave 6Ave to UPS until the 4th business day on Friday Jan 2nd. It is showing a scheduled delivery for this Friday 1/9/09.

I know it was free shipping, so probably low priority in the shipping queue, but painful to watch each day as it was not on the road yet.

But, I guess I need to remember what they said in Jamaica anytime you asked how soon something would happen: "Soon come."

Ordered on 20th (sat), shipped on Monday 22nd, got it on 24th. Free shipping.

Boy, you cannot beat THAT for quick shipping! Cool. You must be somewhat close to 6Ave. I am a left coaster, so it takes UPS ≈5days via ground.

Someone at Blu-ray.com just posted that Panny cust service told them both the 35 AND 55 were being discontinued. Has Panny said anything at CES about players yet?
