Bro de_lasoul, I ordered from www.ideals.com.sg. But since Bro Barry said Carrefour can get...

I got mine for SGD229, but the shipping is additional SGD23.95 if not mistaken. After conversion is RM610...so hopefully the ketam dun kacau...

Mine is actually the 2nd batch with the new firmware, so I will only be getting it after 15/8...

Bro Barry, no idea for RMVB...as I am a banana.

Yahoo! My PlayOn!HD has shipped from Singapore. Too bad I won't be here next week to receive it.

TNS....just came back from Bali and received a love-letter from ketam saying they have my player....

Really TNS liao...anyone knows any jalan?

So end up how?

Tomorrow I am going to collect my player...

Just came back from opis ketam. Kena 10% tax...TNS...

The player cannot do BD ISO or BDMV with the current firmware. It is a *promised* feature in upcoming firmware...but dunno when...

M2TS according to the reviews can play with proper audio changing.

But wat about those titles with so many smaller M2TS?

Ok, just played with the unit briefly. My first impression of it is that it is huge! It is about 2 WDTVs placed facing each other. Also the built quality of it is a bit on the lower end. The front panel of PlayOn looks cheap compared to the WDTV. Otherwise the built is quite solid and so are the jacks on the back. The remote is better than the WDTV is it is more comfortable held in the hand because of its larger size, but it has a very bright and annoying blue LED light whenever any key is pressed. On handling media files, I tested with Knowing BDMV and it didn't work as expected, but it was able to play the m2ts flawlessly with audio changing. I don't have an AVR right now so I am not sure if it will passthrough HD audio but according to the manual if HDMI RAW is selected in the menu it will. My unit is from the 2nd batch with the DTS downmix firmware and I can confirm that indeed does work. Also, it was able to playback a problematic mkv which hung and stuttered on the WDTV. That was all I manage to test tonight. Will further explore more tomorrow night when I have the time.

So, from my 15 minute hands-on, its for the PlayOn!HD.

Didn't try RMVB files yet. Will try my Wifey's RMVB Cantonese serials tomorrow. BTW just to add, the earlier tests were done with external HDD. No lagg or stutter even with 28GB M2TS file.

Testing few more M2TS in BDMV stream folder, RMVB and MKVs now...

- Transformers M2TS gave "unknown audio format" error for track 1 (no sound), the rest of the 5 tracks changes ok
- Kill Bill Vol 1 gave "bitstream error", cannot play at all
- Fast & Furious plays flawlessly with all 4 track changes ok
- Tested another mkv which will not seek or resume on WDTV, plays, seeks, resumes ok on PlayOn
- RMVB works flawlessly
- MP3 plays as well (this is no brainer, but I just wanted to confirm )

End of today's 15-minute test.
