Dexter Season 4 Problem

[flapalms239]

Just bought Dexter Season 4 today, popped in the first disc, a loading bar came on, now I have -: - - :- - showing on my bluray player and nothing on my tv. I tried the 2nd disc and I have the same issue. My firmware is up to date, watched a BD earlier today so I know it's not the player. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is or if maybe I'm just not patient enough?

BD Player: Sony BDP-S360

Well how long are you waiting?

Going on 20 mins. Doesn't even show up on the menu that "Dexter Season 4" is in the tray. Just says BD Rom.

Just put in Couple's Retreat and everything works fine. Tried unhooking my ethernet cable from the bd player, that didn't do anything, erased some of the data on the thumb drive in my player and that didn't help anything either. Looks like i'm headed back to wally world :-(

Well, I'd return your Dexter because you may have a couple of bad discs. Do you have another player in the house to test it on?

No unfortunately. Have you ever had this problem before?

Try turning off the internet on the player if it is enabled. I seem to recall Season 4 taking a while to load for me as well even with my PS3. I believe there is a lot of promos and stuff that loads, it even made getting to where the series menu was a PITA to be honest. Worth a shot before exchanging IMHO.

I do remember this being an issue. Some folks found that by disabling the connection the blu-ray loaded faster. It's that stupid sho.com promo crap.
