You're welcome, sir ...
Pero curious lang ako ... Di ba dati ka nang may HTPC? ... Bakit pa gagamit ng WD player? ... At bakit pa magtitiyaga sa aXXo?
Number of reasons really:
1)The advantage of the WD TV HD Media Player is that you can use all your HDD(I have at least 6 TB as of my accounting of Axxo type files) for your movie viewing pleasure. Unlike the other NMTs like Egreat/Popcorn wherein the HDD that you installed will probably be the only HDD you'll use , with the WD TV HD Media Player, it's mainly Plug in and out (and as what you have supplemented with picture before),and use it on your CRT.
(In which I still have been maintaining mainly for it's Closed Captions capabilities,and I cannot use my HTPC on my CRT).
2)It can recognize a HDD formatted to NTFS, whereas my usb equipped DVD players can only recognize FAT32 formatted HDD(which is a disadvantage to maintain).
3)Portability-Going on long vacation at most times will place you with accommodations that only have a CRT for your viewing pleasure.During my last travel, my laptop became my media player for the week.
4)Cheapest player that can decode MKV,and you're assured of the one year warranty.

... At bakit pa magtitiyaga sa aXXo?
1)I'm a content type of person.
2) I am fully satisfied with the way the axxo files were encoded(Imagine a 700mb movie file,the more the merrier, It's a library I want)
3)The axxo file releases are up to date(The latest DVD release),and the hard to find titles are mostly in the Axxo type of files for e.g. The German Count Dracula with Klaus Kinsky will probably not be released in MKV.
4)MKV files are mostly the commercial type of films that are easily available whether as an original Blu Ray release, DVD release or even you BluRayray'an which I feel is much better and cheaper to purchase rather than a 7.8G MKV on an average 80kbps download rate.(tried once, a 5 G file took me 3-4 days on a good connection day)
5)Lastly....MKV 1080p files are only for HTPCs.
BTW...I'm still pro HTPC, it's just that a new product is available and due to it's price affordable, so why not buy one?.......another thing......last night; I played with it and found out that The Dark Knight 1080p cannot be rendered, but I'm expecting this, I just wanna confirm, about the limitations of this player.
Another Thing; the trend nowadays in one of the sites that i frequent is to release a BDRip Axxo type of file. which averages 1.5 to 2 G.Most of the time, it includes the original AC3 audio.
