UPDATE: I started cleaning my Netflix discs with Windex, and it definitely improved things. But, the real improvement occurred once I updated the firmware for my BDP-1200 this weekend. Since then, I have watched 3 movies without a hitch when previously they would not play, or hang up, or stop and start every few seconds. Therefore, I have a little reprieve before having to put out for the Oppo BDP-83 or its successor (I am waiting for the Outlaw 998 to come out so I can take advantage of all the codes through HDMI).
