Panasonic DMP-BD55

I'll have the same issue - computer and stuff is 50'+ from the projector, so long cable temporarily if I have to.

One thing though - I just went to the Panasonic website to look for downloads. They didn't have any listed updates for the 55, but you could download updates for the BD-50. I'm hoping that means you can put them on an SD card and load them onto the player from there. Anyone tried it?

Thanks. I think the players come with 1.1 firmware and someone at AVS has uploaded 1.5, automatically. Perhaps they are not on the web site yet? The XA2 had a delay of firmwares on the web, I think, although I wasn't too much in a hurry with it as it worked just fine and still have a few discs not uploaded yet

Oh my science! Ran screaming home from school, ripped the box open, and it was on! I watched the new THX thing on Indiana Jones, then bailed on the movie after the bomb went off and went to Transformers. Totally awesome. My projector's only 720p, so I wasn't sure how big of an improvement to expect, but it was delicious...Taking the dogs out and then Pirates or something.

Did you download the 1.5 firmware yet? Finally I found a way since a few tries didn't work

Very quiet player
