HDX1000 review here. They compare it with PCH A110, eGreat M31B andElectron EHP-606. I am leaning towards HDX1000 now. drool.gif

If you stream it through a PC, you might as well buy RMVB player or convert your file to MP4. Just my 2 sens!

I prefer to have all my video files in PC. With NMT, I can access the PC via LAN. RMVB player can't do that yet.

I thought you already have PCH A100 and Tvix too. Still want HDX1000? biggrin.gif

I manage contact a sale person from HDX.
He told me USD219 is fix. The only thing can save is combine shipping. They using TNT service. If single unit order, cost is USD50 ship to Malaysia  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Those MO from singapore forum are basically collect like 30 units and share the shipping cost.

He suggest me to gather an interest list who want to buy. Then if get enough volume then can proceed with order. Minimum MOQ is 20 units  sweat.gif

So who is interested to get HDX-1000 ???  hmm.gif

I am interested to get HDX1000 but I'm from East Malaysia. No chance to bulk sad.gif

tongue.gif  don't get me wrong .. i still think dvico is really excellent built and does everything as advertised.. i would definetly buy it too if i had the money  nod.gif ...sold around 10 units mostly 4000,4100 and 5100 and none (knock on wood) has failures..sarotech got one failure...
but the dvico quite expensive ... some people just want affordable stuff that works ... and when u tell them the price of dvico comparable to hdx .. sure will choose the hdx...
update: one of the hdx1000 that arrive was defective .. couldn't boot up.. took me a long time before i decided to open the other pack to test and realise the first one was defective...
*
After reading various forums, I have decided not to purchase hdx1000. Just too many complains on hdx1000. rclxub.gif
Going to get myself a HTPC instead. biggrin.gif

Yeah, I know. Getting myself and AMD x2 system with HDMI biggrin.gif At least I can upgrade it later.

QUOTE(andyz @ Oct 15 2008, 09:30 AM)
from my first few experience on the hdx1000, the hdx is not for the casual user..
steep learning curve and any mistake might brick the machine..
casing and general outlook is very nice...however overall quality (qc) is lousy.. from machine not working to led lights going out...
picture quality on mkv and normal files is excellent...but i did see a bit stuttering on iron man 1080p vc1 mkv files 50% into the movie.. could be problem on vc1 files...

the worst to me is that they do not have a converter for dts.. the output is pure digital raw output.. i cannot set it to analog.. so for people with no amp to convert dts files u won't be able to hear anything (was watching ironman with no sound).. and most of my 1080p files are dts.. dvico is able to go analog...

other dislikes

no delete button
no fast rewind on mkv files
no bookmark on remote

still pumping more files into the machine and testing it later....
*
I was considering HDX100 but many buyers have problems with the machine. Nice design but QC is lack I think.

I am initially considering this...but last..HTPC is better investment....

What system you already build and how much...?

Haven't have time to survey ....Any best place to do the survey rather than lowyat....? I prefer to go to Digital mall...I don't like to go KL...except...really need it...for survey...don't like to go down KL...keeeeeee

I have purchased HP Compaq Presario CPU. The casing is a bit big for HTPC but don't care as I want to put it on the floor and might want to have future upgrade capability. Initially identified Dell Vostro 200 slim PC but that slim casing will give lots of headache when want to change parts later on.

My low cost HTPC spec biggrin.gif .

AMD 64 X2 4200
1GB Ram
250GB HDD
HD3450 VGA card (still trying to find one with HDMI output, preferably Asus brand).
HTPC remote control
Vista Home basis (I found mediaportal software which is free rclxms.gif looks nice )

So far RM1000++ already and without the HD3450 card yet. I am at East Malaysia...so have to buy things online...difficult to DIY, so I bought a really made CPU instead. biggrin.gif

While waiting to return the defective hdx1000 (still no response from hdx).. i went and open it up, taking out the motherboard .. to take pictures..  tongue.gif
after putting it back .. the bloody blue light came on .. will need to test it to see whether its realy working ..
heres are the pics..

update : the defective unit works.. damn man .. so if any u guys buy a hdx1000 and u have the dreaded red light error .. just pull out the motherboard .. shake it all around .. put it back .. sure work one..  rclxms.gif

forum extreemeplace gave a helpful faq on rma your hdx if u ever have problems....
You do not contact the singapore office (not sure whether can be contacted or not) for RMA. You need to:
1) Register an account at www.hdx1080.com website.
2) With this account, submit an RMA request at the support website. You will need to submit your order number as well, this will expedite thing. You will have a ticket number from this request.
3) They will send you an RMA form which you need to fill up with the RMA number. The RMA number is the ticket number from 2.
4) Lastly, you need to send the form together with your faulty component back to their RMA office in China. You have to pay for this yourself. After they have received your faulty component, they will send you a replacement with shipping paid by them.
