Enjoy .mkv movies in HD glory …

WD TV ...

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 … 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 … 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 has become very popular now … no surprises there …
And as with all other products that become popular …
WD TVs are being modded for extra functionality …
Check out www.wdtvc.com for more info …
I wish I’ll not regret my decision to by this gadget …
May be I never will .. eh … ???  ;)
Laterx …
