Hello to all I've intention to buy an ATV1200 but I've doubts on media compatibility, I've a Western Digital Live Hub that doesn't read practically nothing!
For example ATV1200 could read a file similar as this?

This is practically unsplecable... it seems a normal H24/AVC file to me!
Nevertheless WD Live Hub says it is not supported and I needed to recompress it...3
Have you encountered file as these? Are they read by ATV1200?
Thanks!
PS. What's the difference between ATV1200 and ATV520? Apart for design I cannot see anyone... I'm safe to buy 520? It cost 20 € less...
