doodles: Where did you buy your WD HD media player? I’ve read good reviews and price is reasonable.

My HDX (with 1t disk) sometimes refuse to turn on. the lights are on but only after another turn OFF turn ON with the power switch it turned on.

Any idea ?

thank you

pricewise the WDHD is the cheapest option, however, if you want to organize your movie/video selection the NMT (HDX 1000 and PCH A110) is better. With NMT you can connect to the net via a wireless or wired option and watch youtube videos and a lot more.

except maybe for the part that the hdx could download hd videos directly from the net, i’d stick with my western digital tv (price P5,400) player which is capable of playing hd content from my 1tb western digital mybook essential (price P5,300)or any other external hard drive enclosure or flash drive. a lot cheaper than the P22K equivalent combo of hdx and caviar green.

I have bad experienced on the Torrent client of two different (brand) NMT players. Before, I used to download HD movies through NMT but after 4-5 months, the unit itself stops working but the hard disk is still good. Fortunately the units have six month warranty.

Most NMT players have poor ventilation not unless you leave the aircon running while downloading.

@eat1ng: HDX 1000, PCH-A110 and similar Syabas-based NMT’s can run a number of 3rd-party software such as Music Jukebox.

Here are some of the capabilities of Music Jukebox (currently on stable release Ver. 6.5):

· Scans all your music folders and generates an HTML menu that can be displayed on your NMT
· Automatically downloads album art
· Supports music genres
· Skinnable interface
· Easy navigation using the remote control (‘P-L-A’ opens Playlist page, ‘R-O-C’ opens Rock Genre page)
· Build, run and manage playlists
· Shuffle (random) play mode

@eat1ng: The HDX 1000 supports FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)

@alejojoe: axxo and the others provide us with quality movies good for watching on a PC with <22″ monitor. But with an HDTV, you should play nothing less than 720p (with dts tracks) with this monster.

@yuga: Does this support playlists (m3u or pla), provide options like play a folder (including subfolders), shuffle and other things that the PCH-Axxx can’t do? I have a PCH-A110 and i agree with most reviews that it is a very good video player but not an audio player. What can you say about the audio playback capabilities of this HDX MEDIA (video & audio) player?

@Reel Advice: Usually NMTs (like this and the PCH A-***) with optional 1TB drives are pre-loaded with 180-200 high definition movies. So if you have time to download these much movies, you can buy separate hard disk.

It is strance that this device doesnt support flac eventhough it supports lossless surround formats.

“Internet connection is drawn from a LAN cable or a WiFi 802.11n USB dongle (a TP-Link Wireless USB, sold separately).”

- got it!

Do you still need a usb WiFi dongle to download directly to the NMT?

hi sir yuga!

nice review and now I am having second thoughts of buying one even with the extravagant price. just my two cents, for everyone, why not buy a separate 1TB drive and buy the HDX without a drive. I think that might save people almost a thousand bucks. I just saw a 1TB drive for around 5k pesos in PC Corner.

@calvin
how does the WDTV compare to this performance-wise and price-wise minus the torrent capability?

ill definitely consider this

The HDX 1000 supports Standard-Definition (SD) TV’s too; composite (RCA) video and audio connectors are standard on the device.

It’ll be ready to play back your content in HD whenever you decide to upgrade you television
