WD TV is selling like hot cake in US now due to overwhelming response. Malaysia probably won't get it this year in normal distribution channel. For those can't wait, need to order from US. (info from WD Malaysia internal business briefing)

This is definitely poor man blu-ray player (don't have all the bell and whistle like pop corn hour), need to wait way pass Christmas before have staff purchase.

ar188, do you running any data server or just like me, let all hard drives laying around. Honestly, total 16 HDDs kind of catch up with me oredi.

oh, I've about 13TB total, HDDs running application not included.

mostly hidef, I still don't want to spend a lot in blu ray yet...

eh, only 20hrs doesn't log in, suddenly my nickname get mentioned a lot...

I staying in Pg, guess not much chance to do TT oredi and exchange our collection. Sadly Streamyx doesn't work like Penangfon/Metrofon network, if not, we can set up a ftp server to swap files just like Penangfon/Metrofon user.

I think for flexibility and expandability, I'm stick with HTPC. WDTV is for my old folks lah, the features from WDTV is just so much users friendly for those haven't touch computer before.

vex is a guy isn't it....

seriously, vex, check your pm, it is a right thing to do to keep this thread clean.

chow....

avenger, just saw your WDTV thread last nite, basing on the selling price, i think you've quite attractive pricing, at least in Pg. One computer shop in Bukit Jambul complex is selling at RM449 without keeping stock.

sarawak kilang doesn't produce WDTV.

for those that want to buy WDTV, Achieva Pg have stock, one of my collegue just got one unit from them this afternoon at RM420 or this guy...

this apply only for digital cable, from amp to speaker, I still dreaming about RM1000/ft cable.

I'm playing with few 1080p mkv, no problem. Using Team Supreme 16GB.

there is TVB drama in 720p format, although not for all the series.

in pg, WDTV is selling for RM375 from WD product distributor.

you have to go there yourself to get one....mind you, although they do retailing, but main business is still distribution, so don't expect they serve us like a king.

toh, so fast solve problem, must be a happy man now, how much empty space you leave for media library?

when going to grab another 1TB from me...

as far as i know, for downloaded mkv files, there is only DTS format. might want to get the full blu ray files. Please look for at least 30 GB file size, those 25GB mostly contain DTS track only.

hint: look for Max Payne, file size is about 41.08GB, got DTS-HD MA track for english language.

best bang for bucks configuration is seagate 1.5TB ( have to wait still seagate sort out firmware issue) with docking station, easily RM50 cheaper every time purchase 3.5" due to no need external casing.

and yes, I download mkv files for the sake of testing my streamyx connection aslo, but I need at least 1 petabyte to have statistical significant....
