BTW, what is the difference between US and UK HD DVDs? I couldn't see anything relating to this listed under the 2.0 firmware information on Tosh's web site.

Framerates? 24fps in the US and 25fps in the Europe?[/b]
As I see it, both US and Euro discs are 24fps for film. Infact last night, for one of the titles, there kinda was a guess what region disc we were being shown by one of the speakers. I think in the end it was decided that the Euro version was identical to the US version, FBI warnings and all.

Mark. You may find the HD-XE1 a better bet then your 1st gen XA1 player. Apparently scaling is much improved. Not sure about region encoding of standard DVD's though.
