So analog lang ang audio ko...content wise, may problems ba? coz of the HD content (dts, TrueHD, etc.)...or can the 500X downmix the audio? will it depend on the source also?

Meron bang coax o toslink(optical) input ang audio hardware mo?
You can connect your nmt for better audio.

It can output HD audio with the latest firmware. I have both internal and external hard drive. It's just much easier to transfer newly downloaded files to the external drive.

I bought mine from E-home last December and so far wala namang problema yung Mede8er 500x ko. Ang nagkaproblema ay yung internal hardrive. So they backed up all the files and replaced the hard drive. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, 2 years and warranty nila for the mede8er and the hard drive kaya maganda. :)

Looks nice but that's not an official firmware though, created by one of the forum members.

Yup, i tried Shizzls(author) first modification of the official V4 firmware, ok naman. I'm trying this again. ;) I can always revert back to official F/W in case me problema.  So far the first, wala naman.

Guys, 

My Mede8ter is already more than a year old and I want to buy an external USB hard-disk so I can load more movies.   

Anong brand ba ang recommended ninyo in terms of compatibility, stability, and performance (no dropouts)?  Minimum of 1 TB sana.  The bigger the better. 

Thanks.
