Page 1 of Encore/Sampo firmware

I`ve just got an Encore DV450 and I`m not sure what to do about these firmware updates. I can only find 2.0a from the German site and I`m not sure if I`m going to lose any functionality.

Also is it the 3.3 update that fixes the R1 lip-sync and 2.0a the macrovision disable? If so do you load 2.0a then 3.3?

I`ve heard of EncoreDirect upgrading firmware for £26, does this do both or is it completely seperate.

I don`t want to bugger my machine up, but would prefer to burn an update rather than sent my machine away.

Does anyone know what`s best to do?

Do NOT do the 2.0A on its own, until you`ve got a disc with 3.3 on it as well - you will have the worst ever picture if you do 2.0A in isolation.

Thanks for the assist. Now all I`ve got to do is get hold of the updates.
