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.

I have the LG BH200 and with the latest firmware it is almost as fast as my PS3. I got mine as an open box item at Best Buy for $149 a couple months ago and other than being 1.1 profile only it is about the best combo player out there.
