As noted another firmware release and still no AAC-HE audio. But there is now a resume function which is nice

For what it's worth I've added my comments to the thread, but NZ is such an insignificant market for the Popcorn NMT that I can't see the issue being addressed until HE-AAC audio is more widely adopted.

I think Norway also uses this standard so we are not alone

UK freeview uses HE-AAC also I thought?

They don't use HE-AAC at the moment, though it seems likely that H.264 video and HE-AAC audio will be used for HD broadcasts over the Freeview terrestrial network in the UK soon. The first use could be around the end of this year.
