I’ve noticed that DVD manufacturing quality is often a little iffy. Haven’t tried BluRay yet. What mystifies me is how anyone in the video industry can express surprise and indignation over piracy.

You can get a terabyte drive for $200.

1000 Gb / 4 Gb = 250

My BluRay player (Sony BDP-S300) has been flawless. Ditto for the BluRay movies. Great 1080p/24 fps and great audio. I also own a Toshiba HD-A30 (1080p HD-DVD player). The HD-DVD player crashes frequently. Playing a complete movie is nearly impossible. When it runs, it does provide decent video and audio. Often, I have to reboot and seek a scene near the point where the crash occurred to continue watching the movie.

The DishNet-HD receiver provides good 1080i to the TV. Dolby surround sound (5.1) is often available on the over the air signal. I notice big differences in audio levels between DishNet and OTA TV.
