I downloaded it, put it onto a CD, then put it in the Blu-Ray player (a Sony BDP-S300) and updated it. Update was successful, and I even went into the system menu and saw that it had happened. And yet, I still can't access the Pip feature of the disc.

Can any of you out there help me out? I'd hate to have to scrape together a few hundred buck and wait till there's like a $400 2.0 Profile player available, after I spent $700 on one about a year ago.

Peace

Well...the BDP-S300 is NOT a profile 1.1 player, so you can't access the 1.1 features. I hope you didn't pay 700 dollars for one, when it was 500 dollars when it came out. You will need to buy either a PS3, a Panasonic BD30/BD50, or the new Samsung to access those features. The PS3 and the Samsung are the cheapest of the choices at 350-400.
