Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    So far I am quiet impressed with its ease of use and set-up
    , one thing to note is you need to have a spare HDMI lead as one is not included in the box only a component cable

    Pros
    • Small form factor ( approx 4 inches square by 1 inch high)
    • Clean easy to use interface
    • HDMI out for ease of connection
    • wide ranging support for different video formats (I have yet to find a format in my collection it will not play)
    • Some nice clean themes already released & live hub themes supported

    Cons
    • No HDMI lead included
    • Media Library does not work for shared drives (firmware fix being worked on) - this is a major issue as the dashboard doesn't work without media library being enabled
    • XML files are needed to get data about the move rather than using NFOs like XBMC
    • Limited administration support if connecting to the box via browser

    I haven't tried that yet, will check it out later on when messing with it again and see what is possible

    only tested youtube and flickr streams yesterday evening and must say they were pretty smoothly handled

    i've actually noticed over the last fesw years since the introduction of HD that practically nothing you can buy with either HDMI inputs or outputs will come with cables supplied, you always seem to have to buy them separately. :(

    A bit like the old days when you had to buy and fit a plug yourself to any electrical items. It's true, kids....

    and had to change your own fuses and everything.

    ***or more likely, just wrap some tinfoil round the old one. :D

    ***DISCLAIMER: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS!:eek:

    The original Bargain Alert (over 2 years old) is well and truly gone at this stage.

    Best either starting a new thread for the new WDTV or start a thread in Gadgets for discussion.
