I have an Oppo 203 and have had occasional issues with 4k disc's freezing. I'm glad to know it's not just me.
In my case buffing with a fine microfiber cloth has done the trick. So far. It is odd that Blu Rays have never frozen.
As much as I like this film, a purchase for me only if it is a material step up from the Blu Ray. I'll wait for Mr. Harris to review and see his works well and makes use of 4k score.

In fairness...
Which is why the first thing I always look at, on your 4K reviews, is "Makes use of and works well in 4K". If I don't see at least a 7 I stick with the Blu Ray. While I have no proof, my eyes tell me most pro reviews exaggerate the visual improvement to promote 4K discs.
I greatly appreciate...
I took a look at Gruv and they offered 20% off for new customers. So, I ordered the second and third 4k Hitchcock boxes. They shipped today.
Thank you for the tip.
