But few important - to me - things are missing: Vorbis for audio and ASS for subs.

And brand is ASUS.

Finally the User Interface is brilliant and there is also a strong fanbase, there is a forum for this and there are many customizations you can do to it. Finally, i think the W.D must have more features for this to cost as much as the Light Edition W.D media player (but we shall see, perhaps it was just because W.D were in a sort of monopoly)]]>Oct 1st 2009 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/

This one doesn't say anything about shares. Will be interesting to see what it really supports. Then too, we don't know what the gen 2 WDTV with Ethernet is going to support either. Hopefully it will have similar capabilities to the current firmware mods. ]]>Oct 1st 2009 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/Oct 1st 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/

@Acme:

300 units were released on sept 21st to the first set of preorders, they are doing another run of 100 pre orders with a release for Oct 5th. (Then the price goes up)

Can this record TV shows like a DVR?]]>Oct 1st 2009 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/01/asus-ships-100-o-play-hdp-r1-hd-media-streamer/
I'm still looking for a good solution that includes an ATSC tuner that gives me PVR functions to save recordings to an internal hard drive I can install or to an external USB/eSata hard drive. Of course, the more formats it can decode, including ISO and MKV, the better.

Does anyone know of such a solution for the North American market.

I like the new Popcorn Hour model, but it does not have any PVR functions as far as I can tell.

Thanks,
