I haven't researched these media players for a while.
Have they got to the stage where they will work off a NTFS formatted drive yet or are they still only able to read off FAT32 ?
 
This just jumped into my inbox about 10 hours ago: :D

No mention about tuner options yet though :(
 
I would rather buy from PCH direct and have registered on their site to be notified when sales open but keeping my eyes peeled to this site http://www.mpcclub.com/ for review before I purchase though.
 
Still think this is very expensive, I think around R4k, no PVR
Sorry bud but for a grand less, I would rather have the one we are bringing in
Ohh and it uses Sigma chipset - yuch

But then I am completely biased :)

Anybody had a bad experience with www.expansys.co.za?
I ordered a gps from them a while back , they seem to import most of their stuff, gps was alot cheaper than elsewhere by R 1000, only issue is it came with UK road maps, good thing for torrents :)

more details please?:)
 
You can add a blue ray drive to it at a later stage, interesting.
Audio Pass-Through:
DTS, DTS-HD HR, DTS-HD MA
Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD
Will most likely have to have an AV receiver that can receive and output DTS-HD etc.
Cheapest is Sony STR-DG820 for R5500 excl speakers.
Too much money :(
