I want to know. Is it possible to record videos on the this from the tv? You know like a Dazzle...

[HardwareCanucks]

@Musholmgade

No, unfortunately these media player's do not record from a cable or satellite source. What you would need is something like a PVR or a TV Capture Card in your PC. However, after you have captured the video onto your computer. You can stream it directly to your living room and play on one of these units.

Lol you don't need a dual core processor to play BluRay quality video.

I gave up with this media device, every update made it worse and lip sync issues on mp4 and mkv ruined movie watching.

@polymiaki well it has some problem with arabics.. i've never try arabic subtiles but it shows up with like boxes and crosses... idon't know how greek looks like, but if greeks letter contain letters from normal alphabet but with like some accent marks, it's fine, say like french or spanish, but if it's like chinese, cambodian, arabic or odd looking letters. it might get screw up

[polymiaki]

Hey there :-)

It accept subtitles? And if yes what languishes? Cause I have another TV media player that accepts subs but the Greek subtitles it show with Chinese letters @_@. LOL

Thank you ^___^

let's imagine I have a folder with lots of music videos; does the tv live go on playing the next video after another? Does it also have a random mode?
