Some versions will include DVD and BluRay playback capability. <br /><br /><u><span style='color:blue'>Why do I need an NMT?</span></u><br />There are several reasons why you need an NMT. If you have a large media collection and would like to view it on your plasma/projector/home theater system. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to avoid investing in a HTPC. You can stream music, pictures and most importantly videos. The NMT supports H.264 video which is a compliant 1080p HiDef codec used by Bluray and HD-DVD. The second generation of NMT players with HDMIv1.3 support HD audio codec passthrough. <br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><u>What are the supported file system for NMT?</u></span><br />File system read supported: EXT2/3, NTFS, FAT16/32, HFS+ <br />File system write supported: EXT2/3, FAT16/32. NTFS write (not supported and low priority in to do list) <br /><br /><u><span style='color:blue'>What type of network sharing does the NMT built-in NAS support?</span></u><br />SMB, FTP, NFS <br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><u>What is the best network connection for playing back high bitrate content?</u></span><br />Looking at the above chart, HTTP will be the preferred method for streaming. However, HTTP protocol does not support .iso/.ifo format at the moment. The next best choice is SMB/NFS. <br /><br /><br /><span style='color:purple'>(More info will be updated time to time)</span><br /><br /><a href='http://www.hdx1080.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page' target='_blank'>http://www.hdx1080.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page</a><br /><br /></div><br /><br />XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<br /><br /><b><u><span style='color:red'>Who is the owner?</span></u></b><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('02152b4c209c7e6b46ab17d6b95dc0e5')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="02152b4c209c7e6b46ab17d6b95dc0e5" style="display:none"><br />Coming soon (Not yet getting the info - no one feed the information yet)<br /></div><br /><br />xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br /><span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'><u><b>Indication Price (based on official Webpages and ppl info)</b></u></span></span><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('6ede417c41f3a42d7f33713abeb876f5')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="6ede417c41f3a42d7f33713abeb876f5" style="display:none"><br /><span style='color:red'><u>(the information below just give you an idea of indication price...not the actual price...all depend your skill to get the better price...and the indication price is subject to change based on market update</u></span><br /><br /><u><span style='color:blue'>TVIX HD M-7000A </span></u><br />=> ~RM$1800 (with TV tuner??, with hardisk???) <br />-can get from local <br />=>http://www.ideatools.com.my/idt_TViX.htm<br /><br /><u><span style='color:blue'>Popcorn Hour A-110 </span></u><br />=> USD$215 (= ~3.5 x 215 = ~RM$752.5) - <span style='color:red'>Revised after mydevil comment. sorry small mistake</span><br />- Not inclusive tax or shipping. <br />Local not available yet (http://www.popcornhour.com.my/)<br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><u>HDX 1000 </u></span><br />=> USD$219 (~3.5 x 219= ~RM$766.5) <br />- Not inclusive tax and shipping. <br />Can get from singapore<br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><u>ISTAR Mini Networked Media Tank 1.3a HDMI</u></span><br />=>USD$205 (~3.5x205=~RM717.5)<br />- Not inclusive tax and shipping.<br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><u>Egreat E31B with HDMI 1.3</u></span> <span style='color:red'>(recent updated on 20080915)</span><br />=> ~RM$800 ....not inclusive of postage....(someone feed the info)<br /><br /></div><br />xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br /><span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b>Comparison between TVIX7000a vs HDX1000</b></span></span><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('1f7bfe77342fc10c9ee42ee6f4e21a5b')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="1f7bfe77342fc10c9ee42ee6f4e21a5b" style="display:none"><br /><u><span style='color:red'>TVix M7000a have but....not at the HDX1000</span></u><br />1) The ability to connect with Tunner....(might be cost several 100 bulk more) -Opitonal DTV Tuner port (not necesary la)<br />2) Memory (negative feature)<br />Main:256M byte/flash 64M byte (who is the winner - I think shall be HDX1000...betul kah...bigger size for HDX1000)<br />3) Ripped File demuXer Engine????..improve playback ability....compabilities of TVIX (developed by DVico)...really ah?????? - can help kah???<br />4) Fan with varible speed and sensor control (not necessary la)<br />5) Good service- proven as rx3 review (+ feature)<br />6) Subtitle can change colour (TFF (True type font)) (Not necessary la)<br />7) optional WLAN 802.1g (don't need to add $$$ or not)..hm...
