I read: "mkv (AC3 only)" = don't buy (need DTS at least)

The box supports DTS passthrough...

What the box really needs is Hulu, NetFlix, and more online content. Just playing catchup with Popcorn Hour isn't good enough. While it might have the horsepower to handle high def video, in 2009 people want streaming content as much if not more than downloaded stuff.

@David
If it supports DTS passthrough from mkv files, why would the spec sheet specifically say that only AC3 audio is supported in MKVs?

I was considering popcorn but I've discovered that the new blobbox has a stronger back-end that enables social capabilites... you can watch an online movie, then you can invite your online friends to watch it with you!
Popcorn has mkv but blobbox is going to have it in a few weeks, both support bittorrent...
Check this video made by tvblob to confront with popcorn: http://tr.im/jiYv

hmm for that price you'd be able to get a playstation 3 to play blu rays and use ps3 media server to stream every single media type on the planet.

(...and play games)

except the wi-fi on the PS3 is horrendous and not fast enough for HD material.
