Sorry for the noob question. I have a friend having the above player. Is this player any good. Can it play 1080P hi-bitrate mkv without problems. Can it support bluray ISO and DTS-Master audio and Dolby True HD?

taukeh htkaki has 1 unit of it......i bet he will let it go very soon once BD1 on hand.

Yes for all your questions BUT it doesn't do blu-ray menus. I does however play them with DTHD and DTSHD-MA. The networking performance is excellent as well.

When I check the website, it only mention DTS and DD, no mention of DTHD and DTSHD-MA. Its also base on the sigma8635 chipset which is the same as the WDTV 1stgen. Can the 8635 support DTHD and DTSHD-MA?

I don't know if it does support DTHD / DTSHD-MA but I've been using the 6500a to do just that. Anyway, out of curiosity does anyone knows how much can I sell the 6500a for?
Now that I have the HDX-BD1, there's little reason to keep the Dvico 6500a anymore.

Since you have been using it to bitstream DTHD / DTSHD-MA, then it should support loh. Probably cannot downmix DTHD / DTSHD-MA.

But the same chipset as 1st gen WDTV, that is pretty slow today. I beleive some high bitrate mkv will shutters.

Sell me Rm200

RM300
IIRC 6500a was retailing at 1.2k - 1.3k last time

I sold off all my sigma 8635 player(WDTV) all for RM200 only. Anyway those price of 1.2k - 1.3k were back in 2008. This is 2010 lah.

Dammit, only RM300? I'll pass it to my sister then.
Actually, I think this is the only player that does Auto 24Hz.. all the others have to manually select.

Can someone teach me how to update the firmware for this player. I put the latest firmware on the USB stick and boot up the unit but there is no option to upgrade the firmware anywhere in the menu.

Do I need a internal sata HD to upgrade the firmware?
