    Netflix blu-ray price premium to become reality

    I bounced back and forth between Netflix and Blockbuster and opened and closed my Netlix account several times in the past year. But now that I have a Netflix Roku box I won't be dropping them again. I'd prefer to drop my movie package with DTV (Premier) and just rely on Netflix once there is...

    1080i or 720p?

    I think I found the answer on p20 of the manual: You may find that setting the output resolution of the player to match as closely as possible the native resolution of your display provides the best picture performance (e.g., 720p for 720p and 1080i for 1080i or 1080p).

    1080i or 720p?

    My old TV was 1080i only so I didn't have a choice. I just replaced it with a 1080p and am not sure if I should leave the setup as 1080i or 720p on my HD-A3. Any suggestions on which works best?

    DTV remote code for Sony BD-S300??

    Has anyone found one? I've exhausted the HR20/21 built in lists and the codes listed on the DTV site don't do the trick either.

    pace of new releases versus sd-dvd

    I just suspended my Netflix subscription because there doesn't seem to be enough new first release Blu-Ray films available to justify the $17 per month. I don't think Netflix is at fault. They do seem to carry what is available. Any speculation on a general time frame when Blu-Ray will be able...

    Toshiba HD-A3 Firmware Question?

    Just received an update disc 1.3/1.1 for HD-A3/HD-D3 from Toshiba. If it really doesn't do much to the machine I think I'll hold off. Why tempt fate, my HD-A3 is working fine as it is now. I'll hold on to it just in case though.

    trouble reading netflix rentals

    Thanks for replies. Just got off the phone with Toshiba. Yes they are aware of problems on both titles. It's in the disc software. Not my player so that is a relief. After running into the problem I attempted to download 2.1 (still on 2.0) and the download would not complete. Toshiba confirmed...

    HD-A1 software issues on several discs Last two HDDVD rentals from netflix would start to play and then my HD-A1 would turn itself off. The rentals were The Good Shepherd and Children of Men. The flip side regular DVD version of Children of Men played fine. Any HDDVD's that I own and have...

    upconvert playback question

    When I copy a widescreen image off my 622 to my dvd recorder and then attempt playback at 1080i on the HD-A1 the image is squeezed horizontally (black margins on the side and figures are skinny). If I view the image at 480p it is correctly proportional and fills the screen (HD 16:9 Widescreen...

    Turn HD-A1 off or leave it on?

    The PNW has a very mild climate and my setup is totally in the open. So far I haven't noticed that much heat. But I'll keep an eye on it.

    Turn HD-A1 off or leave it on?

    My TV has only one port for HDMI/DVI so I use the HD-A1 for upconversion a lot. It does such a good job that I dropped from Platinum to Gold. I think the PQ for upconverted DVD is about the same as HBOHD and better than StarzHD. Watched the Sentinel last night and thought the PQ was very good.

    Turn HD-A1 off or leave it on?

    Thanks for the input. I have been turning it off. I think I'll get into the habit of leaving it on.

    Turn HD-A1 off or leave it on?

    Normally I turn my equipment off when not in use. But I've been told it is better to leave computers on when not in use. Because the HD-A1 seems to work more like a computer than a standard dvd player I thought I'd ask what others are doing? It does go through a long loading process when first...

    Samsung BD at Costco!! Is this the end?

    I was just looking around at what they had at mine 2 days ago and there was neither BluRay or HD DVD. It is good news if they are selling them online. With Costco's return policy I think its better news for the Toshiba than the Samsung.:)
