May 8th 2008 2:36PM So, concerning the Pioneer Blu-Ray players...
Pioneer says they are gearing the players Elite customers that prefer to have better sound quality and picture quality over web content, but they have made it so that if you want DTS HD you need to get a firmware update?
But then, they don't include an Ethernet port on there, so you need flash from a disc to get that support. I don't understand not just including an Ethernet port. Even the Toshiba A2's and A3's that were selling for $100 back before Christmas and Black Friday included Ethernet ports.
I don't see the majority of consumers getting confused over a Blu-Ray player having an Ethernet port, because it's not like they have the Profile 2.0 specs memorized. Most consumers look for numbers that they can quickly compare so they can cut their options down to make a choice.
And then a lot of times, you might not know what ports something even has until you get it out of the box, unless the box has a diagram. So, even less of a chance a consumer will get "confused."

Concerning the the comment about the cable companies that you hadn't heard of from the chart that Eric posted, it seems whoever made the chart just went and used the top 10 cable companies in the US based on subscribers.
http://www.ncta.com/Statistic/Statistic/Top25MSOs.aspx
Their subscriber totals for up to Sept. 07 is 57,722,100
NCTA says there's about 65,100,000 (http://www.ncta.com/Statistic/Statistic/IndustryStatistics.aspx) coming out to about 88.7% of all US cable subscribers.
