Enjoy .mkv movies in HD glory ...

10 comments

Hello ...
With several High-Def movies now available for download ...
I've been try to figure out a way ...
To watch these movies on my 37" Philips TV ...
The problem I was facing was with the file formats ...
As you may know ... most HD movies come as .mkv files ...
And most of the Multi Media players sold today ...
Do not support this format ... not even with latest firmwares ...
So the best and easiest way to play these movies on my TV ...
Was to connect a computer to my TV and fire up VLC ...
However ... connecting a computer to my TV ...
Just to watch HD movies ...was a bit of an overkill for me ...
And so the research began ... to solve this problem ...
My answer came from Western digital ... a reputable company ...
I've been using their products for several years ...
And they've never failed on me ... they've earned my trust ...
They've recently released their Multi Media Player ...
It's called WD TV Live ... and reviews were sprouting up all good ...
It was small ... good design ... sturdy build ...
It handles a whole lot of audio and video formats ...
The best part was it played .mkv files ... at 1080p resolution ...
It was available in a few shops in Male' ... I couldn't wait ...
I sold the Abigs divX player from Sarotech ...
Ran out and bought WD TV Li... cheapest was at Formax shop ...
Installation was simple ... power and HDMI cables only ...
Picture quality is good ... I mean really very good ...
User interface is nice ... and the unit is silent in operation ...
WD TVs have become very popular now ... no surprises there ...
And as with all other products that become popular ...
WD TVs are being hacked and modded for extra functionality ...

I wish I'll not regret my decision to by this gadget ...
May be I never will .. eh ... ???  ;)
