Anyone else get the update notification for the Connected™ device?

The new fonts look great, and there are German and French menus too!

Here's the forum discussion about it:

7) Support for Mute button on the remote control.

8) Support for Volume up/down on the remote control.

9) Support for not having to re-enter the encryption key after the SSID of the router previously connected to has been changed.

10) HDMI issues on Samsung and other TVs have been resolved.

11) Auto EDID is displayed next to the actually display resolution if Auto EDID is selected.

12) Better & more clear fonts

13) Screen does not flicker any more after updating the DivX Connected Device to a newer version.

Its getting there!

So far, I'm happy with what I'm seeing! Now that the subtitles are displayed properly on screen (no longer must we deal with greyed out screen till the subtitles appear, nor the screen flash when subtitles change), now, all I need is Force aspect ratio and additional format support and I'm set.

so far so...ho hum?

Got the new firmware. I'm happy it worked completely wirelessly. Nice and responsive. LOVE the support for 5.1 sound.

However, what's with the color? On my setup my color appears to be at 16bit. The videos I can't really notice a difference, but the GUI and the pictures are DEFINATELY not at 24/32 bit.

I've looked at the server and can't see anything regarding dithering or bit settings. Anyone experiencing this as well? Any way to get it to millions of colors?
