I'm in that same situation...I've opted for the DSL...fuck TimeWarner. I've been without their cable for three years now and I couldn't be happier about it. They wanted $150/room to install cable...you know...on those cable lines that were already existing in my house.

I'm just hoping the DSL is sufficient to watch my Netflix on.

Let us know the moment you get NetFlix working with this. I was going to switch my HTPC over to linux to reduce the overhead (it has trouble with HD streams), but now i'm going to have to wait 'till there's a viable option for Linux.

Aside from that, I kinda like the new player, it seems more stable; though, i haven't gotten a chance to scrutinize the IQ (tossed on a movie and went to cook dinner.

I think then, the idea may be to allow 'mastering' of a small set of discs. Creating a stamp is expensive, whereas if you're going to only do a couple hundred CD's, burning them might be cheaper.

Still, I agree with one of the GP's that pointed out that CD's are old hat and quickly becoming irrelevant to the music crowd.

As a long time Windows user, this is the reason I've got xubuntu on my laptop. I'm still having trouble navigating everything, and I don't understand a lot of it, but my experience with XP's activation and the issues I've had with trying the 7 beta have thoroughly convinced me that Microsoft is attempting to commit some bizarre music industry like suicide by choking off legitimate customers.
