Wow.....every month got new media player coming!

Here is the specs. for it:

Cool...this looks like a winner!

So far as I know, hdd is never included in the package....

Expect to spend an addition RM300~400 for a hardisk and proper docker

If you guys are getting HD players, best is to get nice 1080p Movies as well...yummy...
After you are hooked to HD stuff, you will never play DVDrips anymore

err....Succumb to the dark side

Why not get heatsinks instead to put at the bottom?

They are availabe in many sizes from long strips to massive finned blocks.

I find that the current 1080p release of TF2 is not so good...images are a bit grainy..probably wait for a better one..with better bitrates.

Actually you can adjust the sharpness on the LCD/Plasma to make it more sharp but grainy, or more soft.
But I can't be bothered, I can't be adjusting my TV based on every movie I watch..

No probs...there is a newer release that is 16gb (rather than the 11gb one) which has better bit rates.

Trouble is, I can't find a 'live' link to it...seems like they are all dead or removed by the servers every time it is loaded.

err..It's out? I heard its Oct 20.

I thought ACRyan more capable of playing MKV than WDTV?

Oh..I though WDTV and WDTV live only minor changes...they changed the chip also huh?...

UGPM

You mean this:

Can find easily...try the garage sale forum...got lots of sellers..

I use both 2.5 and 3.5 inch hardisk...I still prefer 2.5 since its more hardy, less current usage, easier to handle and cooler than 3.5.
But downside is the price...its double...and currently WD just launch 1TB for 2.5..thats the biggest capacity.

Anyway..regarding the Vantec Toasters..here is what you gotta know before you purchase it.
If it is used for the media player is no problem with USB....but if wanna use it for file GB file transferring using the PC, USB is painfully slow.
Better to get the USB/esata set since esata is a lot faster than USB for file transfering. Make sure you PC or Lappy has esata interface.

Next is the Dual Dockers...some ppl bought them and surprised can only recognized only 1 HDD instead of 2. If you want to for 2 hdd with esata, you need additional card with "Port multipliers"

Of course can...

But remember this...is you are using the 3.5inch HDD 'naked' make sure you handle it properly...3.5inch sensitive stuff.

Its better to get the docker with USB/esata interface cause for file transferring from PC to HDD, esata is much faster than USB.

Yeah...my meaning is same like Ngto.
If you got kids around, make sure you teach them not to touch it.
Hehe...I teach my 1 year old kid not to touch any HDD (but after she dropped one)


Sure can format new hardisk...I format a few new hardisk using the docker...no probs...

But it must be NTFS...cos' most of the mkv are 4gb over.....just do a quick format will do...I'm sure you know how to do it using the Control Panel/Administative Tools/Computer management/

You mean PoHD has its own format for the HDD?...what format is that?...different from FAT32 or NTFS?

Is it just for the internal drive or it is also for the external drive as well?

Hey..that looks like a Vantec clone...hope the price is lower than it

Get yourself a universal remote controller...its being discussed here:
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1202313

Can anyone confirm ASS subs from mkv works with the PoHD?

I fedup looking for SRT files from the net....converting ASS files is not straight forward either.

Did a google and some say can, some say depend on the bitrate of the movie.
