calvin: Wow, urs came with a WMC remote??? Did you order via optional accessories or it just came bundled?

Hmmm..Dell zino got IR receiver meh?

The cheapest package I want do not even have that remote option available . I guess I need to call them after placing order. I wonder does all dell zino packages got the built in IR receiver or not.

They should really make their online ordering system more flexible. Sometimes got some items I want in the most expensive (BR drive) but I don't need the extra HDD space.

One thing I always trust Dell's build quality, they are way better compared to other vendors.

So after I place my order online, I can call them to customize further ya? Just qoute my sales order number? I don't really need the monitor, I would want to upgrade the drive to a BR-drive + remote and remove the monitor option.

For a while i thought the remote has some super chip inside lol. I agree that RM 35 is really good price, for a branded RC for WMC. even those ciplak Astro remote cost more than 10 bucks in Tesco .

All the new zino should have at least the IR receiver right? Later I got remote but don't have receiver pulak susah

At least now I know I don't need to get a RF keyboard. PC maintainence can easily be done with Remote desktop connection.

There's actually a registry which you can change in order to get Internet TV. Check out this link below on how to do that.

I wish they will release a high-gloss white model.

The link you posted is about Dell Zino 400. The one available in Dell which can do all these things is Dell Zino 410

Do bear in mind that 7.1 is achieved through HDMI

Need help on XBMC, nobody on the xbmc forums could help so i hope you guys can

I'm using XBMC to play back MKV files with embedded subs (and also external ass & srt files) and they seem to appear all over the screen (Top, left, right, bottom of screen). They seem to be squeezed and flattened as well, making them unreadable. Any idea whats going on? I have already reformatted my XP machine but still same problem.

OS: Windows XP Pro 32 bit
XBMC version : 10.0
Shark codec installed. Tried k-lite but same problem.

Tried the video file in MPC and VLC, no problem.

I face no problem in using XBMC with my win7 notebook though. It plays beautifully on it.

And XBMC always freezes when I try to search at network drives (SMB).

Any ideas?



I already tried video calibration but no difference.

Tried it, still have that problem. At wits end now . It happens to SRT subs as well, I tried xbmc 9.1 and still got the same issue. Boxee wouldn't even play the video at all!

I'm using Win XP Pro, any idea how to install Windows Media Center without reinstalling/reformatting Window Media Center Edition?

Yeap all mkv got subs problem, I think DirectVobSub is fine cuz MPC-HC works perfectly fine.

Yeah only bad thing about the x51 is the back uses a mini-hdmi port, so u need to get a converter....
And I wish it supports a HDMI pass through, so that I can use 1 keyboard to switch between my Unifi STB and HTPC... (and this eliminate the need to get a audio switch)

Still if you're planning to sell ur zino..drop me a pm
