gonna get this tomorrow. really tempted to get dvico but dem expensive. i'll buy this for now...

This type of question really getting on our nerves ya.
"Sure or not?"
If u read the thread closely, loads ppl bought it already hence the price confirmation. It should be around RM360-399.

pltan, no problem dude.
i do think that "sure or not" is a malaysian slang...
but we have alot of ppl here... malaysian or no malaysian, we can get confused...
malaysian like me can also misinterpret "sure or not"...
i was like ma**i, ppl been toking about the price all thread long, still dun belive!

sumbody mentioned that he bought it in Lowyat for RM365.

Went to Digital Mall last night, All IT Hypermarket is selling it for 399. The price increased so fast?

Guys, just came back from Lowyat. Bought the WDTV for RM369, with stand, together with WD My Book Essential Edition 640GB for RM259 at Viewnet Hyperstore. Which located cross All IT Hypermarket. They have both with stand and without stand, so make sure u look at the box first before buying.

At other shops, they're selling it for RM399.

Havent setup everything yet. Both still wrapped in their boxes.

Yawn. Done setting up my WDTV and updated the firmware. I got problem playing some avi files. Now trying to convert it using the ArcSoft MediaConverter. And I got the same problem with the subs is not readable when the background is white.

Other than that, I'm happy with the WDTV.

Just updated to WDTV_FW_1_02_06. It solved all my previous issues. Now enjoying old movies. I HEART WDTV!

Ah! I like the 3rd fixed. Good job WD!

With this constant fixed, I'm sure there'll be less and less complaint from this thread. And, price increase. *touchwood* LOL.

Mikelee, yes to all that u mentioned.

I'm not sure about that.
Normally to be safe, we unmount/eject the usb portable from our pc rite?
And sometimes when we try to eject, a popup message will say that it's still in use. The best or safe way for this is to shutdown the pc and unplug the usb portable.
So it might be similar to this one.

I was thinking the same but now, after not even 2days since I bought this, the fixed has arrived. Kudos to WD!

My fren just got back from Lowyat and bought WDTV at the same store I did; Viewnet Hyperstore. Also with the price of RM369.
Better go and get it now guys!

At the front of the box where u can see the WDTV picture, u will find a small print as below.

"My Passport™ portable drive sold separately."
AND
"My Passport™ portable and stand sold separately."

Now, u should know which is which.

This is a very good reason to get WD drive instead of other brands. To be safe.

I normally unplug the power when finished using WDTV+HDD. Last nite, I was so tired, so I just shut down via remote. This morning when I woke up, I anxiously went to the HDD and put my hand on it to feel if it hot or not. To my surprise, it was not and I realized theres no blinking at the LED. I switched on the WDTV, and its working fine. Phew.

I, too, have considered DVICO. The 6500 model. Then the new model came out, the M-7000. Made me think, lemme try a smaller ones first and so I tried the WDTV. Maybe not a perfect player for some ppl but I'm satisfied with it. Guess I'm not that demanding. As long it can play MKV 1280x960, fine with me.

-Audio out of sync during MKV playback

Ahhh that settles one of my prob! cool.
