869666 2010-03-27 02:44:00 Yeah MKV playback is super :D

Yeah. My son has one and swears by it,. I was going to buy a Popcornhour A200 when my A100 dies but after reading the thread below I think I'll go with the WDTV.

That is by far the biggest let down on the PS3, no MKV support. It means I have to transcode on the fly.

Most likely because the PS3 is made by Sony a movie company..

869671 2010-03-27 19:16:00 Had been looking for a HD media player for 6 months,had been following WDTV Live Forums and the XStreamer Forums.
Ruled out the XStreamer because of the noisy fan and I don't know if anyone here has problems with WDTV Live playing ISO's as quite a few were having problems so ended up with getting a Apacer AL460 emea.apacer.com ,run it as a stand alone player and is hard to pick a fault with it
