The 6500A doesn't support HD-DVD iso. I downloaded a 28Gb concert only to realize its just a complete waste of time.. Arghhh..

^ Not really wasted. Seems like WinDVD 9 plays HD-DVDs..Let me get my paws on the software first..LOL!

you're not talking abt the official firmware on their own website, right?

eeek... some MKV and TS files over 400gigs. BTW, how to switch audio channel when playing the MKV video? Does any1 know? thanks.

hmmm
somehow i got problem with watching my digital channels, cant seem to scan any of them, the 2nd time i tried, worst, nothing happen to the unit, shit...

Ooops 
Yes so I keep them all out of my bedroom except for my 1st Dvico box (with 320GB HD).
I enquired about this as well at Czone, and was told that it's not really worth it, since basically will only get RTM's test channels (assuming it's being transmitted in your location). But he will gladly place the order for you if you want to spend the $$. After hearing that.. I decided not to order. Will wait till we get more channels before considering it.

adamw, i used external attenna, my 4100 unit with dvb T is ok, the problem is with this 6500

im in the sourthern region, IINM , im suppose to get another HD channel now as oppose to those days where i had only 1 HD channels, and 3-4 more digital ones

@pierreye , the 6500 comes with giga lan, 1000mbps

zero , but the router need to be giga also right?

New "prerelease" firmware out. 1.3.137

Err..this one doesn't support BD playback.

you might wait for a while since rumours of new dvico machines with realtek processors coming soon....

reliable source ...two models coming soon... (8000 series will be with duo drives)
but looks like the dvico 6600 is coming first...

Have you tried using safe upgrade?

I see no reason to type what someone else has already described so look here http://forum.canman.se/showthread.php?t=7030

andyz, im using the 6500 now la

Andyz, am using fw148 now, is there a way to disable the 100 tries counter?

hey terranova, i've decided on the synology rather than the qnap....and as you have already mentioned, the HDD sure fills up fast....i went with the 2bays.....maybe should think abt a 4 bays in the future.

oh, are you back here now? I tot you still like 5000-7000km away.. 
actually that's also the same question I was wondering... it's only 349 in amazon US...

anyway this doubles as a PC as it's a atom 230 PC...    so kill 2 birds with one stone..
