819660 2009-12-11 21:56:00 I should really fire up the old media PC (We bought a WDTV Live instead which solved the issue) and see if that works, it's worth a shot I suppose? Chilling_Silence (9)
819661 2009-12-12 03:19:00 The 7 series wont do GPU acceleration of H.264. Only the 8 series and up (and even then the lowest cards can barely handle it, the 8400GS can just do 720P I think but best to use a 9500GT and above). trinsic (6945)

Care to write a quick review Chill? I'm seriously thinking about getting one too, now they've added a NIC!

X2 would be nice to get a review from someone actually using one

819665 2009-12-13 08:42:00 Sure, give me 24 hours and it'll be on my blog ;) Had it for a few months now. Long story short: Aside from one or two minor issues, I'm loving it!! Chilling_Silence (9)
819666 2009-12-22 02:06:00 Just noticed this (www.computerlounge.co.nz) - what do you think about the specs by comparison? nofam (9009)
819667 2009-12-22 02:44:00 eSATA would be a nice addition, but lets be honest, USB2.0 has 480mbps which is *way* more than the 18-oddmbps that HD video peaks around for full 1080p. No idea otherwise :D Chilling_Silence (9)
819668 2009-12-24 01:49:00 Chills.......found this today, it shows how to configure network shares
between Win7 and your WDTV live, which in your blog you say you have had
problems with. The sound on this guys vid is a bit rubbish.

Hope it helps, Merry Christmas for tomorrow

I'd get the WDTV Live just for the ability to load homebrew firmware:D
