Ever since I upgraded my HDX900 to the latest firmware my networking function seems to screw up Prior to the firmware upgrade the NMT can obtain DHCP from my router. Now the NMT could only get some funny IP which is not on the network range.

Wondering if this was caused by the latest firmware which might have some wireless networking driver in it???

Latest firmware is 50-17-080808-15-HDD-402-000. I haven't had a problem as you describe, I'm using a wired network.

I am using Buffalo router running on repeater wireless bridge mode. In case you wonder the Buffalo is working well with pc and Dreambox.

My unit should be arriving this week.. What is the best price for 1T or 1.5T SATA drive at LY now?

PM me if you need 1.5TB Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD. The last time I was in Low Yat price range fromRM670-700 & indent order only. They dare not keep stock as they are afraid of price drop. I still have few units with me full warranty, 1st year 1 to 1 from disty & subsequent 4 year sent back to Seagate in USJ Summit.

Transcoding only not direct playback from the NMT. I was so happy when I see your post!

Did you try? It said transcoding on the fly. There for you can playback RMVB files directly.

MyIhome runs on a PC, when I buy the NMT I intend to do away with the PC. If you do it this way might as well buy HTPC.

Finally have a chance to setup the HDX-1000 last night. The manual is only sufficient for basic stuff and suck in the advance feature like Samba share, advance setup, function in remote control etc.

Got a 1T WD GreenPower from Lowyat and installed NMT application, start transfering file via FTP and only found out that FTP can't do UNICODE filename, so only manage to discover SAMBA share and set unicode filename.

While in the middle of heavy file transfer (via router and WiFi from two PC to HDX-1000), it crashed a couple of times when you try to play movie at that time. Otherwise it is ok. Also disappointed to find out that there is no .idx/.sub bitmap subtitle support. Normal LAN transfer speed is around 5 to 7 MB/s.

I get ~ 8mbs when I transfer files between PCs at home. I wonder that is the normal speed for a 54mb router.

means the MyIhome has tu run on PC in order for the HDX to play RMVB files?

.sub? according to official specs it support the .sub subtitles
may i know if the Chinese subtitles can display well too?

Chow

Yes, you will need a pc to play rmvb files. Install myIhome on the PC and network it to the HDX.

hahahah, sill need pc
lucky me. iwas never a rmvb user

I kena con also. This sub is the text format in MicroDVD format. Bitmap not supported.

Chinese subtitle like Unicode encoded txt in .srt is support, provided you change the menu/language to Chinese in HDX first, otherwise you'll see funny characters.

Added on November 12, 2008, 11:49 amIt take about 15 secs to start stream the RVMB over to the HDX. I had a Pentium E2140 and it happily stream over the WiFi connection to the HDX-1000 with no issue. The only problem is with my old firmware it "hang" after stop playing RMVB file. There is a new firmware released a few days ago and I have yet to try it out yet.

hi guys, need help here.
AFAIK, HDX1000 didnt have fan inside, they only used heatsink to transfer the heat.
so what is the recommended brand to put hdd inside?
i afraid fast spinning hdd will burn the unit and all my buyer send to RMA>..lol

im thinking WD Green seems like a good choice

Chow

Green HDD is fine. I have got one in my HDX900. But other brands are just fine.

hi guys, need help. im new to the NMT and AV world....im the type of guy who know how to watch movies on PC with codecs
here's the Q :

1) i dont have AVR, so what will happen when i play mkv with DTS audio? no sound at all?
2) i noticed lotsa mkv audio AC3, this one still need AVR?

so basically the Q is, how to play mkv with sound if i only have LCD TV and HDX 1000?
if i just plug in the RCA's, should be enough? stereo sound right?
im completely lost

Chow

1. no sound, unless u convert the audio trough ur pc then playback at the hdx
2. ac3 = dolby digital 5.1, the hdx shud have the internal decoding

if u plug in ur lcd, use hdmi will do, and set as stereo, for ac3 u will have sound, but for dts, no sound, tats it
