A few questions?

[twol]

Ok will look at this when i get home..But strange thing is that it plays back perfectly when i directly plug the portable hardrive. So that leads me to think the receiver is just not capable enough. Is it the chip? Ram? Would love to know if another receiver would be able to play it or its just not going to work with any of them.

There have been media players around with chipsets far less powerful and capable of handling these requirements (and the hd51 is typical of the arm receivers and you don‘t see endless protests about not being able to play apart from some strange audio codecs), so its likely to be the settings on the hd51/TV that need sorting out.
