    No problem.:)

    BTW, how do you like the add-on so far? Any glitches or problems to note? I haven't really heard anything bad from anyone yet, everyone seems to be happy.:)

    I am very satisfied with it, better then I even expected it to be. HD-DVD is a great technology anyway. It is kind of a bummer that it doesn't support the new lossless codecs from Dolby and DTS but the add on is more of a intermediate step to hold over my HD craving until the dust settles between HD-DVD and Bluray. People are just completely blown away by its performance and even non A/V buffs seem to always mention that it makes HD brodcast look like SD. The add-on was a gift from my father for my birthday a week or so back, so in a way it is a win win situation for me.

    *EDIT* I forgot to add that when I switch the audio stream over to TrueHD something happens... I can hear the difference. It seems that the audio gets slightly louder and more defined. I am well aware that it isn't actually TrueHD but I would be interested to see exactly how the software on the console handles the decoding.

    Also, one more thing. What do you think about the new lossless formats? I know as a sound designer/mixer they kind of scare me because they are a lot more revealing and unforgiving. I also wonder how much of a difference I would notice on my HT system. On my near field studio monitors here in my apartment I am sure I could tell a significant difference but my system is only 2.0 right now.

    What tech? CRT, DLP, LCD, Plasma? Honestly though, yes. Plain and simple HD-DVD is a sight to be seen.
