u playing 720p or 1080p mkv?

piece of advise when update fw, use flash drive instead of HDD, as reported by some saying that using HDD might take very long, close to 30min! flash drive is about 5min....

cant wait to go home to try it..

C-zone in low yat us selling WDTV at RM549!!

View Net selling RM429...

one of my cable also got the same problem, i get the message on my samsung LCD TV saying "Mode not supported" are u having the same message as well??

i think u hv same problem as mine, that HDMI cable also no problem when i use it on my PS3. That cable is Cliptec brand, bought from Thundermatch.

Seem like there is a new minor fix on the firmware, not sure what is the changes made though...new firmware is now 1.01.02.

Don boycott, but instead buy in bulk to save the kilang from closing...

Optical cable is also same as Toslink cable

This month Stuff Magazine got feature this WDTV, RRP only RM399. so those shop is taking advantage of stock shortage to jack up the price...

i dont see copy function is that important, how many times u wan keep copying between ur HD?? why u wan to do that while u can done it better using a PC...

oh..sorry forgot tvix can house internal HD with extra thousand ringgit different...

of course lah as they already spent so much on tvix while WDTV can do the job nicely without those unnecessary function which most of us don really need....

Nice pic, mind to let me know which camera model u using??

seem like it doesnt support mkv?? also the slot is only useful if u r using their free agent external HD. I don think it will be useful since most of use use external 3.5" to house our mkv collection...

For me the WDTV design is better..smaller..

this speaker doesnt come cheap, more than RM1k my friend.
