Oh... I thought of another feature I would like.... teleportation to anywhere in the world.

I can also see when it is switching back and forth (sort of) as I detect a "flash". What program did you use to generate that screen shot with the associated metadata? Mediainfo shows this clip as progressive BTW.
It's called DGIndex. You can get it from here (I used the "Download from our site (direct link)" option). It's actually very easy to figure out, and what's really nice is you can set it up so that you can step through frame-by-frame and compare what's displayed in the video window with what's displayed in the Information window.

You may notice that the screenshots I posted are zoomed in quite a bit. I did this intentionally to make the artifacts blatantly obvious. When it's not zoomed in so far, I can still see the artifacts if I look closely, but most of the time I don't notice the artifacts for 1080i material. As the content resolution decreases, the artifacts become more noticeable. On 480i/p material, it's extremely noticeable (and quite annoying), especially with high-motion frames.

I guess nobody sees the point of my "wish list" items. My point is that this thread is as pointless as asking for teleportation and tomorrow's winning lottery numbers. All of the things that are being requested here have been requested before. I don't remember if the "wish list" items were posted on this site, or on the now-defunct Ceton Tracker.

LOL!

At any rate I think that ceton is looking at this thread and will incorporate what they can, remembering that what works on your phone may not work on the echo. For one thing a lot of apps may be written for portrait on a phone but the echo displays on your TV in "landscape" so to speak.

I thought that your "wish list" posts were quite humorous though. I'd like to travel back in time and fix some things.. But that ain't gonna happen and even if it did whatever got "fixed" would most certainly result in unforeseen things happening..

Only when nobody is looking.

I didn't ask for time travel, just teleportation. I'd like to press a button and be instantly transported to anywhere in the world... instead of sitting on airplanes and in airports for a whole day in order to travel to/from another continent. Kinda like the transporter on the star ship Enterprise. And, of course, who wouldn't want tomorrow's winning lottery numbers?

Well time travel will give you those.. How about being able to change your location in the time-space continuum and do both.. Come ceton you can pull this off!!

Seriously though, I want playback of all my library including dts and all HD Audio formats in my second generation extender and I really don't care how it gets done so long as it does.

Sure, then I wouldn't need the lottery numbers. I could just turn the sand on the beach (after kicking down some sand castles) into gold bullion. And then, for travel to other continents, I could turn myself into a super-sonic jet.

It's easier to deal with the IRS if you just win the lottery.

You're not thinking "big picture"

You transnogrify the IRS into gold bullion. That'll make you Scrooge McDuck swimmin in the money bin rich.
