OK, now we're getting somewhere. Sorry I misunderstood that the cable box was acting as the DLNA player. So, it supports the MKV container, so no issue there. However, that chart only mentions the containers, not the codecs supported. So we still don't know for certain which video codecs are supported. We can guess that AVC is supported, based on some of the supported containers, but because it doesn't list TS or M2TS that could explain why the Roku profiles don't work. It looks like mpeg2 video is supported, so I'll look through the different profiles when I get home and see which ones transcode into the mpg container.
In the meantime, give some of the Sony TV profiles a try. Going from memory, I think they transcode into mpeg. The Samsung might as well. Stick with the TV profiles, as the Blu Ray player profiles likely pass DTS through.
