5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Player, 18 Nov 2011
This review is from: Western Digital TV Live Streaming Media Player (Accessory)
It sets up in a few minutes and connected to my home DLNA (Windows Media Player) Server in no time. Already had a couple of firmware upgrades which seems to have resolved a couple of small issues I had. Streaming is smooth over wireless, though I am only streaming around 720 and not 1080p. One observation is that the supplied video cable is a waste of time, and simply doesn't do the box any justice. Replace this immediately and run HDMI which shows the interface in its full glory.

It is intuitive and easy to use, and although you may need a little PC knowledge to set up your media sharing, the instruction manual (only found on line here.... [...]) is pretty helpful. I would recommend streaming from a DLNA NAS rather than PC, but honestly that is more for convenience of not having to have the PC always on rather than anything else.

It seems to support every file format I need it to, and overall, I am more than happy with it. Much more flexible than Apple TV... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little Media Player, 13 Nov 2011

This review is from: Western Digital TV Live Streaming Media Player (Accessory)
Had mine just over a week now and I am very pleased with it, I have my content stored on 2tb Seagate external HD's via USB, both DVD and BluRay rips, it has played every video file type I have thrown at it so far. I have found that it does not seem to support AAC audio, though this has not been a real problem as I try to use the best possible audio format when ripping my movie collection using MakeMKV (well worth looking at this free programme if you have a large DVD / Blu Ray collection to rip to HD). Though this latest version of the WDTV has built in wi-fi don't expect to be able to stream HD content wirelessly and you won't be disappointed in the quality of this player. Got mine from Argos as they had stock before Amazon and it worked out cheaper than the current Amazon price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally.. A streamer that WORKS., 25 Jan 2012
This review is from: Western Digital TV Live Streaming Media Player (Accessory)
Ordered this item on the weekend and took two days to arrive, and packaged very well (Amazon always packages exceedingly well!) I read reviews about this one and the Hub version, but as I already have many 1TB drives (and read that the internal drive kept on failing for people in the Hub version) I went for this one.

Now, I've been looking for a decent streamer for a LONG time. I have PS3's, a 360, an Apple TV, an Xtreamer Ultra, NONE work as well as this little box does.

Firstly, it plays everything. My PS3 was lacking this (even jailbroken) as was my Apple TV, the Xtreamer Ultra is shambles (selling it), and the 360 stuttered. This little box played all my HD, mkv formats, smoothly, and what surprised me even more, is that it streamed a 720p .mkv from my MacBook Pro wirelessly, with no lag or stuttering! My PS3 can't even handle 720p movies unless it's plugged via ethernet, but both my laptop AND PS3 must be hooked via ethernet in order for streaming to be... Read more
