Whilst I understand the frustration with the new firmware not fixing issues that everyone wants fixed I chose this player after the manufacturer of last player gave up and left me with a doorstop, the only benefit is that the kids can use it to play amazon programs etc.
So far I can play all my films at 1080p with 5.1 audio, I would prefer full 7.1 audio but it's not a deal breaker at this point.
The fact that HiMedia continue to develop the firmware to try and fix the issues is good enough for me.
