#1 · It's rarely used except for a few releases. My first use of BD-Live was with The Dark Knight, which was pretty innovative but very laggy. I was on DSL downloading commentaries for like forever and downloading trailers in HD...then on FiOS the speed was ok. Lionsgate used it to for updating weather temps when starting up a bluray. Sony used it for ps3 users downloading demos and such. Could this mean that 4k BDlive might be dead?

#1 · Okey dokey, I'm starting this thread because this newest model from Panasonic has started showing up at retail. My order from Circuit City is being delivered today, so I wil have additional comments later tonight, but a friend picked up a unit at retail, also a Circuit City, on the west coast yesterday. I'll let Brad post his comments, but from our conversation last night, those with HDMI 1.3 receivers can be prepared to get happy. More to come.

#1 · Hi, I can't believe I am having this much difficulty finding something like this. Here's the dilemma. I have a small system at our cabin, which started as a 40" Samsung TV, Squeezebox Touch, cheap DVD player, all played through a Yamaha soundbar, controlled by a harmony 650. The 650 allows myself, family and guests ease of useListening to audio on the soundbar wasn't cutting it so I brought an old arcam a65 amp and Klipsch kg1.5 speakers from home.

#2 · Keeping an eye on this as well. #3 · The MX-4000 is now available in CCP. #4 · Thanks for the heads up, going to start playing with it now. #5 · I must be in the minority here, but I HATE tablet styled remotes.

#1 · I realize this will probably be a niche thread but picked up the MX-1400i and have really been impressed with it. Solid build quality you would expect from URC, nice finger notches on the back, great back lighting, crisp responsive screen, and my favorite part...NO FREAKING REAL ESTATE HOGGING NUMBER PAD! Still working on dialing in my programming on it, but that's always a work in progress with me. Voice button works great with all my Alexa devices.
