OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD PlayerOPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
Buy used from: $119.00
The highest rated upconverting DVD player for our means. The 981HD has the DivX, so you may want to go with that. Personally, I plan on hooking up my PC, Mac, and consoles...I can watch DivX via other sources, but sadly not upconverted. Choose wisely!

I went with the 880. It has the macro function we want so we dont have to get off our tushes so dang much. No need for the Harmony 1000. Too much for our budget right!! Ideally, we route our audio through the receiver and the Logitech remote macros we create fix that part.
