I think DirecTV can just stock up those HD-DVD players and give to the claimants. I am sure Toshiba will be happy someone can clear their warehosue space by loading them off, who knows, Toshiba may even pay DirecTV a disposal fee

They are not cheap nor easy to get. I hear they are great upscalers and lots of people are trying to get them before they are all gone. They are cheaper than the Oppos which are also very good.

my question is where do you file a claim at?

I was going to ask the same question Ice. I to signed up with the portable dvd player as being listed. I even asked a csr when signing up they said 6 to 8 weeks. I did kind of forgot about it though. But hell if i can get it then i will. My wife really wants that player for trips and long car rides for our daughter. So i also need to know were to file this at.

The claim is for a portable DVD player - a little 7" type, not an standalone DVD player - certinally not an HD-DVD player.

There is no place to file claims yet. This is an article that describes the progress so far. Until they have court approval, they won't process any claims.

When it is all said and done, we'll have it here for everyone to claim their portable DVD player

They were definitely very cheap when last seen at my local Costco, I recall $129, about how much this portable DVD player DirecTV claimed to value.

But that meant to be a joke.

I actually got a stationary player in the spring of 07 - such a piece of junk that it died in about a month. Was told that I was "ineligible" for the portable unit but they were sending me something anyway as a courtesy. Just received a notice of the class action suit - with a form to fill out - if you got nothing they will send you both a stationary AND a portable - if you got the stationary as I did you will now get a portable unit 'worth' at least $129.
