A new Oppo Blu-ray player coming soon!

Thanks for the 411 with respect to the DLNA. I assume that with DLNA, you could still get Netflix, Pandorra, YouTube, Amazon OnDemand, Cinemanow and even Hulu streamed to your Oppo as long as you had a program like PlayOn installed on your PC?

It is possible - in fact, I'm still optimistic that it will work for a lot of these services, although so far there hasn't been a lot of action in that regard. I haven't tried PlayOn recently, but last time I tried nobody had found quite the right combination of settings. I need to check back at PlayOn's forum to see what might have happened recently.

A run of the mill Blu-ray player would have Netflix streaming and Youtube!

Seriously, I'd hoped Oppo would offer a player sans DVD-A/SACD, but with ABT and the bells and whistles.

I agree that I'd prefer it that way (with AB and without DVD-A/SACD) but I think that if you ask anyone, they'd want it tailored exactly to their own personal needs/specifications. Inevitably, something had to go in order to bring down the price. I'm willing to bet that it was cheaper to lose the AB chip than to lose DVD-A/SACD.
