1080p UPnP Media Player: Mvix Ultio is a compact box supporting popular formats such as MP4, H.264, DivX HD, MOV, VC-1, FLV, VOB, WMV and AVI as well as MKV, AVC-HD, RMVB and Minus VR. Also it can play a variety of audio formats. I have noticed the best feature in this model is Ultio can connect to the Internet via a built-in Ethernet port or through a Wi-Fi network.

The Popcorn Hour does look like an awesome media player but at a cost. For some people, the WD HD will meet their needs and budget. Good to have both options in the marketplace :-)

In my opinion not having network (ethernet or Wifi) access is a major disadvantage in a media player considering a lot of people have Network Storage Devices holding all their media or computers storing downloaded media files. It seems so "yesterday" to copy media onto a memory card or onto a USB Storage and then to plug into a WD HD.

Something like the Popcorn Hour, which has come along way since it was released back in 2007/2008 and it really does support every media format under the sun and can access video on demand, all the free video sites such as Google Video, Youtube, StumbleVideo etc.

Just format the thumbdrive in NTFS to overcome 2GB limit.

I don't quite follow your point. But to clarify, the WD HD Media Player of course supports AVI along with MKV and Quicktime wrappers.

By Dolby Digital presumably DTS but no AC3 ??? and MKV is a dead format (and rather pointless, offering nothing useful over AVI) like OGM so why not both, or neither
