Even the WDTV (non-live) has 2 versions. The very first one does not have DTS downmix and does not support DeepColour because it is HDMI1.2.  The second version is HDMI1.3, has DTS downmix, and supprts deepcolour.  The latest firmware for this second version has already been released and can be found on WDC homepage.

Has this been verified with a meter? If not, and someone is willing to loan me one to generate the charts, I would be happy to show the results. I can get hold of the Live for comparison, just need one with the Realtek chip.

i got realtek chip player but not going to pg so soon.. if i do go will let u know..

bro, remember when i tested my wdtv in your house we compared with your bd for the same show.. our naked eye could hardly tell the diff between the two.. but if u compare sigma n realtek there is definately a diff.. to some ppl (me) realtek is softer n more noise.. to others maybe realtek is better.. i am no pro so i am not going to argue:)
