There's a new firmware dated January 2013 available to download: www.datastorage.com
Has anyone tried to change firmware to Measy. Xtreeamer, Iconbit or Himedia on this player?

Some firmware issues initially with many crashes, but since I sourced the latest firmware (Aug 2012 version) from www.datastorage.com.cn (using Google translate) I am finally happy with the box.

Also have a Measy X5, build quality of the Measy is poor (tinny, poor ventiation) compare to this, but the firmware updates are much more regular and currently the GUI is way ahead of what the Datage i6 offers. Also the Measy remote codes are covered by my Harmony One remote.

I have exactly the same problem and have found no solution. Have you been able to fix this unbelievably terrible problem?

I came back regarding my problem :
I have managed to install the latest software.
Here is the link to download the latest firmware: www.datastorage.com
The item 2 in the list " 魅影I6/X6_V201200905升级固件"
It was really hard to install though, because it crashed a lot during the installation process...I think I have managed after trying about 300 times (no exageration). However...now it seems to be working just fine...

Hey, you got this wrong. This is a HD media player not a Receiver.

got this one around February or so through one of the chinese websites. Build quality is ok with brushed aluminium strip on the front and blue display and led strip. I like the HDD tray, which makes the installation of a drive very easy. The original firmware was from October 2011 and I had to upgrade immediately to the Decembers' version. However the player hanged frequently, which was annoying. The latest firmware from March 2012 fixes the reboots and hang ups and now everything works flawless. y current uptime is over a month or so without any problems.

what I like:
- transmission works well, I get decent DL speed (compared to my old A-110)
- mkv (h264) with FLAC audio play correctly!
- internet options & android (but I do not use it frequently)
- gigabit ethernet
- supports BD ISO images (lite only - plays the movie from the ISO)

what I do not like:
- you cannot dim or turn off the blue led strip
- when you turn the player off you turn it completely. I'm used to soft power off with Popcornhour when HDD and transmission keep working when you turn the player off.
- does not support full BD ISO images (no Java, no full menu)

In general a decent buy. Next to test: 3d quality when I get a proper TV and wireless N when I upgrade my adsl router.

I have this player since 4 month ago. The first firmware was very unstable, however they improved the firmware, and now the player works like a charm, very stable, very good build quiality. It can play almost every audio/video file. I have a slow internet connection, however I can see videos in youtube without any problem. I am very happy with it.
