If it were stable, it'd never improve.

In audio, who cares how many multichannel formats there are as long as YOUR 5.1-channel system sounds good and you can buy software for it? I let the gadget guys pursue the formats with numbers higher than 5.1.

In video, if you don't want higher resolution AND some inconvenience, DON'T BUY IT. My Toshiba HD-XA1 needed updating; I spent c. $25 on a 75' network cable, plugged in into the player and my router, and it happened fairly quickly. I'm sorry your audio and video go unsynch'd occasionally. My only HD source is the Toshiba HD-XA2. I use HDMI to the TV and 6-channel analog to the all-analog, vacuumtubed, 6-channel preamp. My audio and video are never unsynch'd and always look and sound GREAT.

Now that you've finished your rant, go back and enjoy a hi-def movie. :-)

BTW, I think Sony is the Microsoft-type bully in consumer electronics, and ever since THREE 23" Sony monitors died, I sat as far away from Sony as possible.
