Noted... so you recommended go for AC Ryan HD2 mini for better built quality?

can i knw ur camera model also the detail for ur TS format which u say is not play smooth...

i test D550, D600 record video file is ok, also TS file in my HDD also no problem... (only have one 3d mkv file have lagging problem de), sumtimes certain special file can not play is normal de, no player guarantee can play 100% movie no problem de (for old WDTV Live ady got many lastest version format cant play well leh, thats why they launch the new WDTV Live Air).. but if many files can not play then is a very big problem leh, i think they also do many test before product lauching de, if got many files can not support they wont put the player into the market de..

my personal experience for operation speed 1185/1186 player is much faster than sigma 8655 player de, when i use wd tv live, wd tv live air everytime press the remote nid wait 1 or 2 second then got response de (of coz differet environment n equipment will make different result de) (u also can off the Android 1st when u play movie de)

for hd900 player now sure still have sum bug nid fix de, sumthing like certain file not support as well, BT download..... nw almost every week got beta firmware cm out de, u can try Upgrade de...

if face any problem better post to their forum will be more useful

Confirm .mov media files by 550D is very laggy .. I'm playing from cat5e cable though...I may try playing it thru USB directly later n report..

Hi guys,

I had recently bought HD900a from Digital mall and kind of dissapointed with it;

(1) All IP TV features kind of fail to play... Maybe too slow. I have Unifi 5mbps. And no other internet activity during testing

(2) video playback quality suck. It is clearly inferior as compare to my Samsung built in player. video is blocky... And contrast unnatural high... Kind of like Nikon camera. Basically it make my 10GB files playback looks as 1 or 2 GB files....

Is it normal experinces?

need some advise from HD900a owner .......this box worth to buy ? what are the major problem face ?

Hi guys... Does anyone tried to play a movie with Dolby 5.1 (AC3) surround sound using HiMedia Q3, and then audio output from Digital Optical to home theatre system?

Does the home theatre system decode the audio in Dolby 5.1 when the movie is playing? Just to make sure... hehe

Well, the primary reason is to be a media center. So in addition to streaming/watching movies, Its my audio center, plays audio files, podcasts and acts as a radio. I hooked up a PS3 controller and game a bit on it when I can... PS Emulators, Asphalt 8, Dead Trigger, Modern combat, etc (I reserve heavier gaming for the PC). Used to use my previous box as a torrent downloader to an external HD (Less electricity consumed + no need to copy here, there..). Some browse on their TV, I don't and find it improper to do so in the family room. Get a compatible webcam n mic, install Skype, hangouts, etc, and can chat with family n pals.

P.S. For more homely/nefarious activities... It can also act as a webcam + audio recorder..
