What I would really like to see is a comparison between the HDX-1000 and Sarotech DVP-570X. http://www.sarotech.com/english/product/dvp-570x.html

The folks at Sarotech has added the DVP-570X with a fan hole for cooling, compared to the previous model, DVP-570S which lacks this fan. I know a normal SATA HDD will run at 40C or more without fan, even higher at closed environment. The HDX-900 review has confirmed this heat problem.

Would HDX-1000 address this issue?

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

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 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.

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.

Google it for download

Bata, you can still get the mkv with DTS, just download AudioConverter and it will automatically downmix it to 2 or 6 channels AC3. I personally would select 2 channels AC3 since DTS to analog decoding will come in the Dec firmware.
