any users here?

i just got myself a 4100 series witht hte latest fw, playing mkv files

as well as receiving HD signals

I was thinking of getting the 5100SH for one simple reason :



No need to get HDD..seems pretty useful.

5100sh cost rm 1750 leh ... almost a HTPC already.
but it really sexy lah ... somemore can decode H264.

I thought it's only RM1500++?..that was what they quoted me at Midvalley Megamall. HTPC big la..and u have to run a Windows OS not to mention the bootup time and the noise from the fan. Very mah fan.

er ... dunno, i read C-Zone price list, it write 1700++ leh ...
and what u said also true, htpc take time to boot up ~ why tvix price cannot drop 1 ....

5100 price increase already..

1.5k for the 4100 nia
1.7k for the 5100

both are identical except for the outlook, the rest are the same
but dvb tuner for 4100 cheaper

so far so good, only a few files got problem, no audio or stuck
tested a few 720p mkv files yesterday, all played fine with dolby digital except for one file gone in 60 seconds

What is the audio capability, DTS? 7.1?, too bad it does not have wifi, how are we going to transfer the source file? pull RJ45 cable from PC?

DTS i think kenot yet, due to licensing fee
the rest im not sure as i only have optical, no hdmi output to try with

Bro, is DDplus supported ar? i mean the built in decoder, not through optical coz my amp does not support DD plus/ E-AC3. MY HM wanna watch TVB but all are in RMVB, have to use my HTPC......

where is your location, can 'look' for your TS or MKV? hehehe got few with me.

DD+? tat im not syre
tvix doesnt support rmvb

wat location? u got wat files?

PM me your location and what you have....i have to check at home coz it's in my HTPC. btw, i'm in kinrara.

the departed, the holiday, happy feet, madagascar, perfect storm, serenity, ghost rider, flush away IIRC

the animation titles really stunning on LCD TV.

btw, off topic... since blu ray disc are not easily available in MY let alone the player price... those who bought 720 or full HD tv where are those ppl getting their source?

Or are they buying because "it is new technology" or "my fren have i oso must have?"

Download? Tmnet is controlling the speed 720p file over 1 gb. 1080 i think 8-20gb.... Buying DVD from Amazon , ebay? too pricey especially the shipping costs

BT sometime got problem as it is slow. no problem on emule.

mkv, ts format are the cheaper alternative to BR and HD DVD in order to enjoy HD.

lots of ppl buying flat panels are for showing nia, not a very high percentage of buyers tat fully utilise its resolution, i know many who until now are still using composite for dvd playing not even component least to say hdmi

blu rays and hd dvd are not tat hard to get, i get mine from amazon, which is hassle free and fast, and end of the day its even cheaper than those on sale in msia

lucky for jaybee ppl(me ) im able to receive HD signal from spore, although not much, but @ least i know my HD panel is not bought in vain
dunno is there any HD5 users in jaybee yet or not, am i the early adopters?

Bro, Bluray price on amazon will shock you. They're almost the same price as regular DVDs.
I don't have a PS3 or bluray player (gonna wait till one format wins) so these people who buy 720 or Full HD TVs are mostly also gamers. They play Xbox 360/PS3 at 720p/1080i/p.

bro ashe, faster go hidef lar, dun wait, i think this war is gonna last a long time

not neccesary gamers, a lot of those family who has 42 inchers doesn play games

My LCD TV is 1366 x 768 (not FullHD...i know)
If I have a file which is 640x480 (usual TVB serials), will it stretch to the fullest screen possible while keeping the right ratio ?

Any models support PATA drives ?

My FullHD sources are from PS3 which can play games and movies (Blu-ray) at 1920x1080p resolution.

I bought the FullHD stuff b'coz of my passion aka hobby.............not b'coz of "it is new technology" or "my fren have i oso must have" or "showing off" that kind of crap...............

i dun think there is anyhting tat can really strect a 4:3 to 16:9 and keeping the right ratio

i can only say those 4:3 files played in full screen mode is acceptable to me

newer models only support SATA

i recorded a 2 hour HD5 movies, cost me 20gbs commercials included
