Anyone know what the # Improved HD DVD networking support means?
Dunno, there's now options available as to whether or not you want discs to be able to access the internet, I guess this is something that may appear in future.

You actually need to insert an HD-DVD for the update to kick in which had me stumped for a while this morning.
