An *occasional* lockup with one of these more advanced players is probably nothing to be concerned about. My Toshiba HD player locked up solid on me last night, and I actually had to unplug it before it would respond again. Darned things actually do seem to have an operating system and real computing power, and once in awhile, they crash.

Years ago, my first DVD player was a DVD-ROM drive + MPEG decoder card in a Windows PC, and every so often I'd get the Blue Screen of Death while watching a movie, and simply rebooting wouldn't fix it: I had to fully power it down for a few seconds.

I think that player has no business advertising itself as HD anything. - Duilawyer 17:45:50 05/31/07 (1)
If it does not play HD discs, and it does not, that nomenclature is misleading. I know, it upsamples to faux HD.

  Upscaling players are calling themselves HD, and many sales boobs in big box stores, are selling them as HD. Its BS, and its no wonder many people seem confused.
