I knew the format and was curious about it. On a shiny day someone offered me his laserdisc collection. When I went to pick it up the seller offered me an hd-xa1 hddvd player brand new in the box and the hm-30000 also mint in the box. It came with about 65 sealed dtheater tapes. At first i refused buying it. His wife explained me her husband was always on the hunt for the newest technology and ended up never even using it. The jvc played two tapes the rest of the tapes sealed!
So after negotiating with him he almost gave me the collection .
I got 200 laserdiscs in very nice condition along with the japanese star wars box, an hd-xa1 with 8 sealed hddvd's and the whole dtheater thing for 300 euro.
Who could resist?
Once home i setup the player and fell in love with it. It's an amazing technology imho.
Bought a few tapes trough ebay. Got me alien dts and true lies dts. Must haves i imagine
Meanwhile i found me an hmdh5u for the obvious dts reason
and a few more 30000u players. I would hate to not be able playing a tape one day. 
i know...Sold about 12 tapes and so the system is paid now. I don't need or want every tape available anyway.
Feel free to check out my collection on lddb
It isn't easy finding dvhs in europe . I had good luck in germany but is a niche market. You really need to dig deep into the internet.
Did you get your player meanwhile?
