Topic: single best NMT so far?

[ǝʞɐɾ ʎzzɐɾ]

sir, i think it's not the SIGMA chip ... it's the support and firmware of Egreat i think ... i just updated the post on my more than a year-old TVIX M6500 which has SIGMA chip ... i would say that it has all the features and more of the criteria that you laid out, except for the fast boot and eSATA ... almost a minute kasi boot-up ng M6500, but it's not an issue - gives me time to power-on the AVR and select the AV channel on the tv

am not certain if the boot up is firmware, but am sure the firmware affects 1080p stutter.  before i upgraded to the new firmware my 1080p files do not stutter at all.

lets wait a few more months i can smell it already

the boot-up speed is likely due to the older Sigma chip, i haven't read anything from the new popcorn hour, but there should be improvement as well on the new models

I was a bit disappointed with the CinemaTube when I first got it (realtek chip + component connection was the come-on for me).  The beta firmware changed all that.

The beta firmware that I've been using has been great since it can now access windows shares on Windows 7. GUI has also improved considerably.  Add that to the fact that the 802.11N card that I bought at CDR King is freaking compatible (haven't tested streaming 1080p BD rips over WiFi yet, though).

I prefer this now over the Sigma-based eGreat ang PCH.

hmmm... interesting.  care to share the improved GUI?  also, interesed to know if they changed/improved setup options.

thanks and cheers!

...and you are right when you say that there are extremely few titles that have HD audio.  i just want a bit more flexibility though.

Actually there are more than enough pure BD rips (mostly in m2ts streams) out there for anyone's needs, which both the Egreat and the Realtek players can handle (with some BUT  .  Kaya lang, talagang malalaki ang filesizes.

Pareho kami ni Raptor, I dont mind too much about the slow boot-up of the Egreat - just a little bit disappointed that the 1080p stutter is not 100% fixed yet even with the latest FW.  But compared to the previous FW that was released earlier this year, 1080p playability has improved significantly.

BTW, how's the boot-up of the new Sigma based WDTV Live?

BTW, how's the boot-up of the new Sigma based WDTV Live?

It's fast.

[Clondalkin]

It's fast.

That's good to know.   

[ǝʞɐɾ ʎzzɐɾ]

It's fast.

just a clarification,

what is the point of comparison of the WDTV Live being fast?  is this based on the 31b?  how would it compare to the other realtek units (cinematube, xtreamer, etc.)? 

thanks!

In my experience, it's a bit faster than the HD-Pro and Xtreamer, both realtek-based media players, and much faster than the original, first generation WDTV.

Cheers!

It's not only "a bit faster" than the Xtreamer... it's MUCH FASTER.     When I tried it in my setup, it fired up in like 2 seconds, compared to no less than 10 seconds for my Xtreamer.  But still due to my personal criteria, I kept the Xtreamer instead.

For me the single best NMT so far seems to be the Dune HD series of media players.

Too bad walang source locally.

Dune HD looks impressive nga, was able to get quotation from TOY01 napaisip ako
Thanks btw to TOY01, medyo bigat po ng kailangang budget for this NMT

very nice indeed. $499. and looks very stable.

whoa!  twice the 31b! 

unit and features look very impressive!

if you are just starting a set-up, this would be a good alternative. bluray, dvd and nmt. saan ka pa, but with a lot of us having the other players already... will have to think twice.

i could actually buy three pch a-200 or four wdtv live at the price (i mean including the shipping from u.s. to here). 

but the build quality look really good (ala oppo) clean lines, really looks good on a spider rack....

hahaha. halata ba? 

seriously, it really looks good. just too damn expensive at this point for me. kaya a-200 pa rin and tvix n1 if ever it does come out for me. 

[scifi-fan]

I'm glad you guys agree with me

At $499, that's what one would spend souping up a PCH C-200 to match it so for me it's a good price.

Apparently, this is the only Blu-ray player I know off that allows DVD/Blu-ray region to be changed

Region Free Mod - allows dune players to change DVD & BLU-RAY regions[/url].
