I have a Toshiba A20, which I love, and works great. Initially, my plan was to own only a few HD DVDs and primarily rent from Netflix. So much for that plan.

Now, I'm in the market for a BD/HDDVD dual format player so I can make the most of my display. Is there still a good player on the market that will not only play both formats, but also upconvert SD DVDs to 1080p, like my A20 does?

Many of the reviews on Amazon state that some of the models available now don't have these features, and some don't allow access to HDDVD menus & extras.

I would just buy a BD player in addition to my A20, but my display (42" Aquos) only has two HDMI inputs, which are both taken by the A20 and my satellite receiver.

Any help would be appreciated.
