No but I heard that it can out performed any trubo charge WDTV here... ha ha just joking.


Heard that it performed really well? Can play any format and can decode DTS and DD.

Pass thru DTS HD and Thru HD but need to install an aditional BR ROM media. No games like PS3 though. tongue.gif

But is like a 2 in one thingy.

the difference between this and the pretenders is that when you plug in a BD rom, it plays your newly bought amazon blu-ray movie..... but when you plug in a BD rom into a Xtreamer or PoHD it just spins and no movie comes out... biggrin.gif

Tq very much for this info........but I am a bit confuse, does it play BD iso? hmm.gif

So if I poke in a BD drive into its usb hole I can play BD, & I suppose all region BD can be played?

Sorry for asking nooby question as I am very peasant & lowly educated. blush.gif

Oh according to the site it cost USD338 inclusive tsp chg to M'sia ( other chg like not in yet ), so it is cheaper then dune base 3. Seem to me quite good as I have being on the look out for BD iso player for quite sometime already.

So all HDD media sifu input & advice is very much appreciated! notworthy.gif Tq very muck! smile.gif

If any media player plays BD iso and does not introduce any processing related problems, its game I think. Hope to calibrate thru a media player (Sigma, REaltek) that can do BD iso to see if there are any problems post processing.

Was asking myself the same question and wanted to compare it with the Dune media player. Came across this forum discussion the difference between the two, if you're interested.

Read post #3 for a comparision between the two.
