Read the first line of my post...I thought there was hacks for Divx etc?
but as it stands my Netgear EVA 8000 rocks enough for me!

Yes, there are hacks, but if it can be hacked then it can be introduced as standard... (The hacks require a Mac to start with)
Oops, sorry i somehow managed to miss that
Why would Apple want to support Divx? They want you to spend lots of money buying your music and movies through iTunes.
Because it would drastically improve its sales of the unit, therefore meaning more people are likely to spend more money on movies and music through iTunes...

It does not work like that, if it did they would. Divx users are in a minority. Walk down your local high street and ask how many people are interested Divx, i bet 9 out of 10 people have not even heard of it. Ask most people who own an ipod about formats and bitrates - no one will know what you are talking about, they just know they put their music on it and it works. That why Apple are the clear leaders, thats what they do well.
iTunes is the real cash cow, ipods and AppleTV are just means to getting people using it. Not only that, but they want you locked into their system. As frustrating as it is for some of us, thats the reality im afraid. Maybe it worth taking a look at that hack again.
Well, in that case it's either look elsewhere or put up with converting DivX to MP4...
Anyone know if there's any quality loss when converting DivX to MP4?
ps: There is of course DivX Connect coming out any moment which is aimed at streaming media from your PC. Reviews suggest it's very good! DLink are releasing something soon I believe!
You won't lose quality converting to MP4....
I don't think that is true, since I believe you are decompressing / recompressing the file further loss in quality is possible.
My wishlist would be for a much larger harddisk (250 or 300gb min), if they gave that i would buy it.
Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the harddisk?
