I received the official HD DVD firmware update disc from Toshiba a couple days ago. No firmware rev. on the label, but it turned out to be v1.2. I didn't bother updating from the web because I only had a couple glitches with the original firmware, and I didn't feel like running a UTP cable down the hall from my living room to the office at the back of the house where the router and and cable modem are located. (It didn't dawn on me until after the fact that I could have set up my notebook computer as a wireless ethernet bridge.) If web access via HD DVD discs ever becomes a common feature, I may buy a dedicated wireless ethernet bridge.
