If you've been holding off on getting a Blu-ray Disc player until the prices go down, you might want to start shopping. JVC has just announced a new budget-priced BD player, and Toshiba's long-awaited player has been spotted at Best Buy with a price tag of $50 less than previously announced.
JVC's XV-BP11 is a bare-bones Blu-ray player with a $199 retail price. On one hand, it supports several different media codecs, including AVCHD and WMV videos. On the other hand, it only has Profile 1.1 (Bonus View). The player lacks an Internet connection, and as such it can't access BD-Live features. That's a pretty big feature to not include in a late 2009 Blu-ray Disc player. Still, if you don't want to go online with your discs, the XV-BP11 is available now for just two bills.

Question: My high-def DirecTV receiver connects to my Pioneer Pro-111FD plasma HDTV through a Pioneer SC-07 A/V receiver. When I’m changing channels, there can be a significant pause before the new channel is displayed. It seems that the TV is always searching for the best way to display the picture, and a message bar will appear across the top of the screen telling me the resolution of the new channel.
I don’t mind the pause, but is the data displayed accurate? For example, HBO and other premium movie channels are often preceded by a banner stating “1080i,” while ESPN and ABC often are preceded by “720p.” Is DirecTV really delivering HD in different formats? Am I really receiving certain channels in 720p? BRIAN MCINTOSH / VIA E-MAIL

Roku is making a nice sandwich out of its line-up, with new offerings priced above and below its popular Roku HD streaming media player.
On the high end, Roku has announced the HD-XR player, an updated Roku HD player with 802.11n wireless support on top of the original's built-in 802.11b/g wireless. Besides the speedier wireless protocol (of which users can only take advantage if they also have an 802.11n wireless router), the device is essentially identical to the Roku HD. At $129, the HD-XR retails for $30 more than the original HD.
