I concur as after getting the RCA L8H and ChangLing 668, I regreted that I didn't go for the famous player with firmware upgrade support

yeah wait for the china equivalent using same chipsets would be a good option.
but just worried these china firmware stable or not? after can only playe 40% of the HD files available then sien..

Nothing is 100%. Reality check, just look at WDTV thread. WDTV can't play DTS also, you need to buy WDTV LIVE.
All electronic equipment, nowadays is 'used and throw' so don't expect much for long term customer support from manufacturers. Consumers need to be more aware of the pitfalls by being more knowledgeable and keep each other info of current happenings

I think somehow WD has given up on WDTV firmware upgrade and fully focuses on their new product - WDTV live,
well, in this respect, I have also given up on WDTV and gotten other players - HDX1000 (same sigma 8635 but supports HD audio and is a NMT) and Xtreamer (basing on Realtek chipset and can serve as a NMT + support RMVB - can be used to watch US reality TV shows - which we can't even buy discs to watch). Am pretty satisfied with HDX1000 - its image quality is top notch. As for Xtreamer - while I can't spot any difference wrt the image quality with that of HDX, uPNP and web interface is still buggy)
