Check out the TEAC Digital Player.

I have updated the software on my unit twice using the internal modem.

I think they are available at Target, Myer and Megamart. Can't recall the current price but is probably between $200 and $300.

I have mine connected to my eMac using a USB/ Ethernet adapter to get broadband access on the TV.

Recommend you consider asking them to order you a keyboard from TEAC. We use ours for email and web access.

The caller ID function is quiet cool too.

Cheers

Our family are considering purchasing a Set Top Box in an attempt to improve the fringe-signal ghosting and snow that currently constitutes our TV picture.

Most models advertise that they can be firmware updated for increased functionality, and they all say the same thing: "Just download the .exe file, connect the RS232 to your computer's COM 1 port ..." [Sigh]

The joys of 2% market share. So how is everyone else dealing with this?

Thanks.
