Woo hoo !!!!

My WD TV came in yesterday. A bunch of us band together to order from a shop in 1U. The stock arrived yesterday. 10 were ordered by the shop and we took 8 of the unit. This morning they passed me my unit and now I ponteng cabut awal to test my unit.

Hooking up my MyBook now and will let you guys know of the result.

Got mosaic-free versions?!

Thought always fixed mosaic. Each movie got 2 versions?

That means still got 2 left in the shop. Care to share which shop? PM me if not convenient to post here. Tq.

Maybe will go there tmw and sapu 1 biji to try out.

Huhu, review pls later

woo.. pls provide early hands-on review + price u paid + where u buy 10q 10q

Got it from IT One 1U

I'll be comparing this against my current setup ,Dvico 3100 (PATA) and Pinnacle ShowCentre

Low Points
- No volume control. Must control from TV
- No menu to transfer files from USB1 to USB2. I was thinking of using a thumbdrive to ferry newly downloaded shows. But now I need to unplug my MyBook and bring to my PC
- No Goto function. You cant tell it to go to a time index. Need to FF/FR. But there is resume function
- Powering off the WD TV wont power off my MyBook. I do hear MyBook spinning down but the light in front still glows. On a pc, when u eject it it will power off. Guess I need to wait a bit longer on my next test.
- It only show 7 lines of text during file browsing. Wish WD would make better use of screen realestate
- No button on the unit except for reset (i think). Lost the remote and you're in hot soup

High Points
- Video : Tested xvid, divx5, divx6, mp4, vob, m2ts-h264 and iso. I dont have mkv and I am lazy to rip VC1 Bluray
- Audio : Tested mp3, aac
- Resume function worked for all file format. Not sure what if there is a limit on the number of files it can resume
- Playback is almost instantaneous for all file format

GUI Review
The GUI is nicely done and responsive. By default, upon power on it will highlight Photos. Media files are grouped by 'All', Folder, Date and Recently played. Menu available during playback are Audio Selection, Subtitles, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Screen Position, Repeat and File Info.

around 110units available in Malaysia

is this thing capable of streaming via LAN?

as for the non-mosaic question...of course there is....the mosaics are applied after filming, isnt it? so the source of course is mosaic-free

Sharing is caring

I received my unit from ZhenWei just now.. and just did a simple checkout and test run on the unit. These are my initial findings:

I copied the entire DVD Casino Royale (TS_VIDEO Folder) into my external HDD and playback it.. connected the unit to my ONKYO TX-SR505 via optical cable. The video is playback on 1080p on my 40" LCD without any flaw throughtout the entire 2 hours playback with Dolby Digital 5.1 track being decoded nicely!

How come you connect via optical? HDMI does not work?

And playback is 1080p for dvd? Is it upscaling?

I also got my unit from zhenwei yesterday night.

Tried the unit immediately after reaching home. I just love the interface...looks like PS3 interface.

Tested, some mkv files. It seems like there are some files I played without sound. There's a message show at the begining "Audio Digital". Does this mean that I have to plug in optical to listen?

The playback is excellent without any jerk or lag.

1 drawback I realise is when I switched off wd tv, it does not automatically switch off the hdd. I need to manual switch it off.

So far, i just love it.....the cheapest HD player.

You use HDMI for audio? Using amp for sound?

Your HDD is external 3.5"?

Yes i use HDMI for both video and audio.
Some mkv files run with no prob, but some without sound and the msg shows "Audio: Digital 1".
I suspect that I need to connect optical for audio for these file types. Correct me if i am wrong.

I am using WD my book 500GB external hdd.

You never reply if you using amp for sound or tv/monitor. I'm guessing no amp, otherwise dts can be decoded.

I am using Panasonic home theater. So i plug my hdmi from wd tv to my plasma. and then output sound using rca to my home theater system.

There is an optical out in wd tv and optical in in my home theatre. So i can use optical cable if i want to.

But I dunno whether it will solve the problem or not.
