    As far as i know its on the latest version [Firmware 01-17-081023]. Was reading on NMT that there is one due out soon enough,I reboot it fairly regularly, bout once every 3 - 4 days. I think i should probably turn off some of the web services i dont use aswell see if that would free up some resources, FTP, NZBGET, Casgle etc etc.

    Does anybody here use the webservices on them at all? The only thing i would probably use them for is perhaps to try and watch some live sports that werent on, you can normally pick up PL matches on sopcast or even justin tv but i dont think the PCH supports either of them.

    Yes, turning off the services you don't need makes a big difference. I only tried the web services to see if they work YouTube, BiTorrent etc. All are now disabled. You're right it doesn't support the services you mention.

    Hey sorry meant to say it to you b4 the end of the season. I found a way to stream sopcast and a few other features from the A110 if ur interested. Just add this web service... http://compiz.de then click sopcast then type in your numeric channel number. There are other services in there but they are all in German so havnt had a look at all of them.

    I got one of these recently, just looking into installing yamj onto it now. Can you setup yamj to read from both the internal hd & also a usb one?

    Yes, just edit the libraries.xml file to point to the drives.

    If you haven't used it before then use the default skin first and tweak it to your liking. The RobinsjExcal skin is really good and includes fan art backgrounds.
