Got an email from Toshiba today; looks like if you requested a CD it's in the mail:

Dear Valued Toshiba Customer:

Our records show that you returned the Firmware Update Request card that
was included with your HD DVD player, and asked both that we send you the
first firmware Update Disc and that we notify you by email when it became
available.

The first Firmware Update Disc is now available and, if you have not
already received it, you will receive it by mail soon. This firmware
update addresses certain disc playback and HDMI/DVI related problems
identified by Toshiba. To update the firmware in your HD DVD player,
please follow the instructions provided with the Firmware Update Disc.

Should you experience any issues with updating the firmware in your HD DVD
player, or if you have any questions regarding your HD DVD player, please
contact Toshiba's Customer Solutions Department at 1-800-319-6684.

Thank you for your business.

I'm expecting my 1.4 firmware disc in about 5 days from Toshiba. Its available now online. Anyone grab it yet?

Ted Kontos · 06-29-2006, 08:28 PM

Yes, I just updated earlier this evening. Haven't played anything yet, but I wasn't having any problems before from 1.0 on. Loading times seem to have been shortened though, and I don't think it's my imagination.

many thanks

Because they mailed me 1.2 I was told yesterday that any further updates will be mailed automatically.

One thing is for certain, Toshiba's CS is top notch and they seem very committed to their product and customers.

My player has had zero problems from day one but I've installed all the firmware updates so far and will continue to do so.

I installed online, and got really concerned because it took a long time (over half an hour, probably 45 minutes--I lost track).

Next time, I'll update via CD. Fewer variables that way.

Steve,

It isn't feasible to download it first to a PC and then either burn it to a CD or else upgrade the player through your LAN?
