After updating the firmware via the network connection, the Sony BDP-S360 died. It just flashes “SYS ERR” on the screen now and Sony’s eSupport says it will have to be sent in for repairs. In 7 to 10 days, not including shipping time, I may (or may not) get back a functional player. I sure hope Sony gets this Blu-ray thing sorted out soon. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?upd_id=4941&mdl=BDPS360

Installed MythDora on a box cobbled together from parts and plugged it into the new TV. Bought a cheap cable card off ebay and plugged it in. Apparently, that was pointless, since the signal coming from the cable company is encrypted. MythTV doesn’t seem to see anything. The menu is far nicer to look at and navigate than the simply awful DVR interface offered by the cable company. Now if I can just get some content onto it.
