I have read all the posts concerning Cinavia and how it works but now have a question. I know Cinavia is reliant on a Cinavia enabled disc and a Cinavia enabled player (hardware) to be effective. I am able to purchase a Samsung Blu Ray player that is manufactured before February 1 2012 but can the manufacturer do a simple Firmware upgrade to enable Cinavia on the player? Or are we safe if we purchase one the is manufactured before February 1 2012?

I don't have a answer to your question but the best way to go at it is to not updage the firmware. Standalone players have no business accessing the internet anyways. -
YES!...can the manufacturer do a simple Firmware upgrade to enable Cinavia on the player?
The whole idea is to get a Blu-ray player that has a firmware that does not include Cinavia protection and to basically stick with that version unless you are absolutely sure that the subsequent version is Cinavia-free. I currently have a Dynex Blu-ray player that is Cinavia-free and I refuse to update to the latest firmware until I read somewhere online that it is 100% safe to do so. My motto with Blu-ray player firmware is "If it ain't broke, why fix it?"Comment
