Wdtv live 1.03.40beta

 I buy my WDTV last Dezember. All works fine with the firmware 1.02.21 . The only thing  I missed was DVD-Menu. Now I´ve updated to  1.03.40 Beta. The DVD-Menu works great. But two things don´t  work now like in 1.02.21.

First: The resolution resets to 720p every time I put on the WDTV.

Second: I connected the WDTV to my LG 42 LG 5000 TV with HDMI. The TV is connected to my Dolby Digital Receiver with an optical wire. With 1.03.40 Beta i don´t get an AC3 5.1 signal. With 1.02.21 it works. I hope WD will fix this in the official firm.

Sorry for the bad english. I´m from germany.

The HDMI issues (like you describe) started happening in the 1.03.x line of firmware.    WD is still trying to sort it out;  they’ve issues THREE betas since then trying to address these issues.
