I didn't realize that. So has anyone updated the new firmware yet?

Downloading it right now, but I won't be able to test it until tomorrow night with Hellboy II

Downloaded it without any problems. Can't wait to try it out.

I installed it last night. I couldn't get the CD upgrade to work right so I ended up doing the network download which took another 20 minutes to redownload it but it worked that time.

It seems to work fine. No issues so far.

Why don't you use the USB update? It's usually faster than the online update, and much more convenient than the CD update.

I'm lazy and the USB port is on the back.

Other than that, I may try it for future versions, but the download time really isn't a big deal. It just irked me since I had already spent 20 minutes downloading the firmware and burning a CD.

It is interesting though that the firmware download takes 20 minutes via network but only about 3-4 to download the CD install to a computer. Maybe the network firmware is larger somehow?
