A friend & I tested the TviX M-6500a with the latest beta FM (1.5.19 06/02/2010) today.
We were able to pass-through DTS-HD Master Audio for a few minutes before movie started to stutter.
Not bad for beta. Maybe it isn’t imposible to implement DTS-HD MA support without DTS license.
I really hope WD can solve this. I would hate to buy another mediabox, I like this WD TV Live HD alot even though it doesn’t support movie sheet in official FM. But in the end (for me) it’s all about watch & listen to movies in HD.
I definitely concur with the idea of being able to “stretch” videos to fill the whole screen. Zoom is decent but it’s not quite the same.
This is my big one: the ability to skip ahead/skip back by some time interval like 15s maybe. Right now the only way to do that is to fast-forward or rewind, but that’s hardly an ideal substitute.
Parental control or some other kind of protection control
Ability to pause/resume playback of music and video from any screen (like a global "now playing")
+1 on the Android remote. I know they said they’re not considering development of an app because there are third party options out there, but it would be nice to have something that worked with official firmware. If they would just add telnet capability to the official firmware, we’d be good to go.
I also hope Hulu is in the next release. It was announced 4 months ago.
It would be appreciate to add support for usb DVB-t driver, I have 3 tuner from terratec lsusb 00cd:0093. TV watching and registering preferably via lan onto a nas server should be the MOST intelligent add on, adding selectable support for remote controller e.g. terratec grey one (the most complete remote ever).
