Its really just the early adopters that have to deal with these things.

Toshiba does send out CDs with new firmware to its customers when they develoupe them, but it takes a while. I suspect this will not be an issue in the future. Once they've got all the bugs worked out, I'm guessing they won't need FW updates. As I understand it, the latest FW is for enabling the players to get options/extras from the internet while the movie is playing. Blood Diamond will be the first movie with that feature. Right now, my A1 has 2.0, and I'm supposed to get the 2.2 CD in the middle of June, since I won't download FW. I don't really care, my player works fine as it is.
enjoy,

You can download the firmware as disk image files from Toshiba's Canadian website, and the CDs you burn from them ought to be as safe as the ones Toshiba is mailing you.

The other reason I mostly leave my player disconnected from the internet is because the potential is there to use it to track my viewing habits, and far too many parties (like all AACS consortium member companies) might have access to it.

  Yea, I could download the .ISO image, but I'm not that motivated. I did that a year ago with 1.2, and dispite it checking out OK, when I upgraded my machine, both the picture and the sound were messed up. I ended up returning it for another player. They *will* send me a CD-they always do. I may or may not use it.
  Regardless, my player plays everything quite well with 2.0, and I know 2.2 just enables, the internet features and fixes the HDMI-> DVI problem. Neither one is an issue for me.
