Just got done returning the Insignia 2BRDVD and getting a replacement- I had purchased the movie Australia and it will not play on either. This is rather disappointing and I would advise others to move up to a player that reads all DVDs. What a mess!

I’m in the same boat as Mike is. Got a brand new Insignia NS-2BRDVD and I couldn’t be more disappointed. I’ve never experienced a longer start-up/warm-up delay. The response to the remote is lethargic at best, and only if you point it directly at the box from a limited distance. The kicker? It can’t play any Fox Blu-Ray DVD’s. You get to see the previews and the menu but not the movie. Insignia’s website mentions a firmware update is pending but doesn’t give out an actual date. No guarantee that this will solve my problems. If I have to pay more to get something that works, I’m willing. Insignia sells CRAP and Best Buy condones it.

I’m sorry to hear that. Mine has continued to work fine. One of the things I understand is an issue with Blu-Ray players is the version of the firmware. I wonder if it could be related to which version of Blu-Ray the discs you support. Are you having issues with all discs and are they DVDs and BD?

well, i’ve had mine for 13 days and now it won’t read any discs. What a piece of shit! I hope the replacement lasts longer. :/
