Thanks for the suggestions all. Oppo looks like a nice unit, but for the money I will go with the Panansonic-either 35 or 55. Based on the spec, should I get the 55 to go with my Yamaha reciever(since it is not digital, but does have 5.1)? Also, I am upgrading our Direct TV to get the HDTV/DVR set top box. Since my reciever does not have HDMI-should I run the Direct TV box directly to my TV? Do not want to get rid of the Yamaha, it does a great job driving my Mirage speakers. Any other connectivity issues I should be aware of???
