Enable DTS-HD MA passthrough ! or live box goes on ebay!

to the WD TV LIVE HD creators

Heres the deal:

“either enable DTS-HD passthrough/bitstream or my WDTV LIVE HD goes to ebay”

directly replacing it with xtreamer or popcorn hour - both of these passthrough native HD audio.

Cool!  Hope I can win it for a very low amount.

Their licence with DTS apparently says they are not legally allowed to do it.  Whining and threats aren’t going to change their legal obligations.

Might as well sell it now; we’re not getting DTS-HD passthrough.

Worth noting that WD sticking to the rules is why we get premium services like Netflix, and is why companies like Xtreamer and Syabas fail to get certified.

Then there are products like the Boxee Box that have both DTS-HD passthrough AND Netflix… WD need to talk to D-Link / Boxee and find out how they got around the DTS license issue…

and now the NetGear NeoTV 550.  No NetFlix.  Ever.
