I've hade one of these since they first came out (about year and a half ago.) Great unit although some firmware issues. You can downgrade to a less buggy firmware the WILL upconvert DVD's for you. (October 2005 was a good one.) If you roll your own HD DVD discs, this is the way to go at least until the format war is settled between BlueRay and HD-DVD. It does do DTS without a problem. While the 4GB file size limit is a problem, but only for USB devices, a UDF formated DVD will do a MPEG2/DivX/WMV9 file over 4GB no problem on a DL-DVD. Also with Home media server, this is also not a problem since it's streamed from a computer (if comes with the software for that) or Network storage (like my ReadyNAS.) The file size limit is determined by the server only. If also supports Windows Media connect and I can even play MovieLink movies on it via DRM through Windows Media Connector.
