Both IO Data and Buffalo players choke when bitrate goes above the limit set by the Sigma chipset both players rely on. (I have two of both.) No such problems with Toshiba HD DVD player; it's been successfully tested with 30mbit/s streams. Dunno why you guys use the word "perfect" in relation to IO Data and Buffalo players, as both of them are still very buggy -- so much so that I've pretty much given up on them after 1,5 years of grief and firmware updates.
