    Hard Drive on Network for movies

    I think I will probably lose some sound formats like True HD and DTS Master. But I have a BDP for that. How would you rate your experience with it? (would you do it again?)

    Hard Drive on Network for movies

    Thanks a ton. My receiver doesn't have dlna nor my tv. I guess I would need a device such as the Seagate (or similar). I know now what I need to do.

    What are the advantages of a more expensive Toshiba HD DVD player?

    I was given an A30 by the retailer by mistake when I wanted an A3. I couldn't tell the difference until I saw that the A30 does 1080p vs the A3 with only 1080i. They look identical to me. The A35 has 5.1 analog outs. I have hard the A30 starts faster than the A20. I don't know though; it's still...

    starting from scratch

    Thanks, it does help a lot. I think I'm going to go with a receiver--Marantz seems to have some nice stuff and name recognition to go with it. I'm going to go listen to somemore B&Ws tomorrow. The only downside is a lot of stereo/theater places are smoke and mirrors.
