and it seems this issue continues to plague the newer BDP-103

I recently had a tricky DLNA transcoding issue involving a media center computer application

* More Audio/Video Impressions here, as well as technical issues I have experienced

I have had free blueray players that come free with a tv purchase last longer...the most annoying issue is when I in pause a video the picture freezes...and trust

it were not for the frustrating firmware issues that continue to plague this new generation player, I would probably give it a perfect score since it does everything else so well and even throws in a fun 2-D to 3-D conversion feature that, to my surprise, I really enjoy

Now with new firmware all those issues are now passe and the unit works excellent

** The technical issues, and lackluster performance have left me conflicted.

As a result I have probably been hyper-sensitized to good and bad issues derived from signal processing.

I read online that it was an issue that should be resolved with the firmware upgrade, which I would have done immediately but the unit failed to download anything when I plugged in the wireless dongle, even though my router is only 15 feet away in the same room, elevated to about 4 feet.

I should also point out that this issue has never been a problem as far as DVDs are concerned

Technology is moving too fast and the manufacturers are not addressing these compatibility issues well enough.

I contacted support and got a polite but short e-mail back instructing me to update to the latest firmware and wait for the next one
