[QUOTE="mXan, post: 405354, member: 90571"] I've just bought a B206 and I was able to do very few experiments up to now (still fighting with EPG eheh :)). Anyway, SD television works OK (DVB-T) and .ts files play very OK as all SD movies do. Using Cyberlink H264 decoder I can see some 720p and even some 1080p files (I can perfectly see movies contained here : [url=http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/]Watching h.264 videos using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA). | My collection of short anime reviews[/url] and the fantastic four trailer which is 720p). Coral Reef WMV9 is stuttering both 720p and 1080p. Strange thing I noted.. I have used the MPC-HC guide at [url=http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/]Watching h.264 videos using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA). | My collection of short anime reviews[/url] and I can see h264 videos perfectly in MPC-HC but when using MPC decoder, mediaportal does not work (in SD-MPEG the dreaded activemovie window pops-up and all is frozen, in HD h264 the movie is smooth but sometimes a single frame from the past appears (usually after a big scene change.. so I think after an I-frame). (Cool fact: accelerated 720p h264 takes half the cpu than non-accelerated "pal" mpeg2). Anyway, the B206 is very quiet, consumes very low power and comes with all accessories.. it's a very interesting platform for those (like me) who are not very interested in HD right now.
