It is great, works a treat. Buy it.

Just getting it in first before the avalanche of questions, will it play this, will it play that, etc etc....

I have one paid £80 for it a while back and it is the best little gadget I've bought in years. It plays just about everything you can throw at it including MKV files. dead easy to set up and works great with just about any external hard drive. heat and rep added.

The only thing to bear in mind is they are updating this shortly to add a network port for those who want to stream media.

Would imagine the new one will cost closer to £100 though.

Does this have a problem with some of the audio codecs on MKV files?

Its DTS audio. For this, theres a tool calledc PopCorn MKV AudioConverter. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PopCo...AudioConverter

If you download that, and then let the program automatically grab all the necessary programs to come with (ogg codec, mkvmerge etc), all you have to do is load the file, click on the right hand side to convert audio to ac3 then hit convert.

It will then do the rest by converting the DTS to AC3 and remux it back into another mkv file which you can then play on this player. The new WD Player has dts support.

PopCorn MKV AudioConverter works really well. A 12 gig blu ray converted in about 5 minutes.
