I AM impressed by HD-DVD!
 
Lots of clever people here. I did the hair dryer gig and the yellow
sticker peeled off without any damage to the primary sticker.

Sure beats going to court. ;-)

True, Sam, but time consuming......I AM IMPRESSED with the clever suggestion
made by Jim Gilliland. Maybe a little heat from a hair dryer will allow you
to remove the yellow sticker.....

But, I still have a bone to pick with them. I cannot get my Toshiba 5
HD-DVD rebate because Amazon covered the Toshiba bar code on the
cartton with their own yellow bar code sticker!



Try warming it with a hair dryer, then peeling it off.


Worked great! Glad you were here.

I received my first two HD-DVD disks from Netflik yesterdy.

One is the new movie "The Good Sheppard." It is one of those two-sided
disks. Only the standard def side would play.

I called Toshiba tech support today about it and they suggested I needed
a firmware update, but it would take a bit of time to send it as they
are backlogged.

I then tried the Internet update, but I couldn't make it connect, and I
tried all the tricks that work with my TiVO.

So, I resorted to cleaning a supposedly new disk and, presto, it played
HD-DVD.

That movie sure looks great in high definition.

Too bad it is so incredibly boring!

Admittedly, I only saw it in theater - so I could not pause,
backspace, turn on subtitles, or just plain stop it! So your
experience will undoubtedly exceed mine ;-0)
