NO, No wireless, that would be just silly.
it seemed to happen generally with mkv's that where 12gb +, so i just assumed they where not up to the processing power or bit rate. tried the WD unit and the patriot unit. granted the patriot PBO was not that great, but I expect more out of the WD unit. other than that, it would simply not play some MKV's even with updates to its firmware/software and whatnot. Almost all the content came form hdbits.org
again though, the problem is now solved.... by getting rid of these gutless set top boxs, and having a real PC do the job. I have had 100% success in playing all downloaded movies the first time since. the girlfriend no longer has to watch me reset gear, find lost shares, revert to some SD divx, cuz its the only thing that works 100% on these shitty boxes ( crap SD stuff ). She can now sit down and get ready to watch a movie that is just done downloading, and know in confidence, she is going start watching it right away.
no more junk on my network !
