I’ve had my player for about 9 months, and it’s been great, but recently, it has been BUGGING OUT - on almost every movie. It still plays DIVX fine, but many DVD’s I have to boot up twice before it even makes it to the menu.

2 questions:

  1. If you own one, how has your experience been?
  2. Where can I get the recent firmware? I want to get this thing cleaned out.
