just got mines. cant wait to go home and fire this thing up. Copped a 250gb WD Portable HD as well. I already have a 1tb. But i will use this one just for movies and tv shows. Shit, I may cancel my cable plan after this.
 
My cousin got one of these and they are HOT!! Especially for the price. WD HD Player $99, 500GB HD $149...downloading and watching vids in HD...PRICELESS.

Anyone that DOESNT have a PS3 or cant afford one should get one of these!!

If you got PS3 you need nothing else, dvd player, cd player, mp3 player, bluray player, and HD media file player all in one!!
 
Good drop, however it is cheaper and less work to just hook the computer up to the TV

true, but my pc and tv arent close enough to do that. Besides, with this, the pc wont even need to be on. I prefer it this way.
 
I`m Gettin 1 2day.....

uploading all my files to my passport as i type...:yes:

what is that?

and did you update the firmware?



if that is a remote im lookin to getting a backup remote for this thing cause this remote looks like it can brake easily

so if anybody is using a universal remote that works with this drop the link here>>>

yeah, its a universal remote. I got it to work. After you get the 880, you can basically ditch all your other remotes. theres a thread about it on here somewhere, might have to search for it.

This thing controls damn near every electronic in your house. Theres a new version out at as well, called the 890, i dont know what the difference it, but i think it can control IR devices that are behind closed cabinets, something like that.

I caught mines on black friday for $100. Its $105 on amazon right now. Not sure if the price will go back up though.

yeah, i updated the firmware, that was the first thing i did. Took about 3 minutes.

IT'S A GOOD ITEM TO HAVE, I GOT MINE FROM WALLMART ABOUT A MONTH AGO, i HADN'T USED IT YET. Just so happen I decided to go up there, mainly becuase I hadn't a thing to do. and they had them there marked down for $79.00, So, I bought it for shit's and giggles. Now, they marked it back up. I would recommend it to anyone looking to do media, if anything storage. :yes:

I copped the 510, from CIRCUT CITY FOR 50. I highly recommend anyone that has a wire in there house to go by there too stock up on anything you may need. They close the doors for good on Sunday. If not you option will be online, or at worste case senario BESTBITCH.
 
hey fam , have you guys tried it with any other external drives other than WD passport drives ?

nah not yet. I might try this weekend with the Lacie 1tb. But i hear it supports all HD's.

i prefer amazon. Best Buy sucks
 
cool Tim

holla back if you do. If it works with all external HD's then that shit getting ordered next week
It DOES work with all external HD. You only see pictures of it with the WD hard drives because WD will want you to purchase one of their HD, but I repeat, it DOES work with non-WD hard drives and thumbdrives.:yes::yes::yes:
 
thats a program isnt it? :confused:

Yeah, It's program originally developed on the xbox. I use it on my old XBOX. In terms of quality & features it's maybe the best program, but the old xbox hardware is not capable of playing HD content flawlessly. :hmm:

So how does it do MKV playback with a resolution of 720i ?
 
:D:D:D

having seen the device only in pics, is the firmware upgraded via a usb device, I am sure its damn easy but I am just asking out of curiosity.
yes. The WDTV has Two usb inputs. You could leave your HD plugged into it and connect a thumbdrive into the other input and easily upgrade the firmware. Just download it to either a HD or Thumbdrive, connect it to the device and it will ask you if you want to upgrade the firmware. Thats it.

Cool, I had a few extra CPU's lying around so I hooked one up to the TV a while back... thing is I still have not watched one damn movie that way... I think I did it just because I could or some shit...
 
$210 for what? The passport and the WD Player together?

yep....220 all 2gether....


i`m still having a hard time updating mine though...

but i havent had a problem yet playing anything so i guess i`m cool....

yo andyH made a thread about formating the WD passport drive to NTFS

I forgot to do it on mine, is this necessary?


and to anyone in this thread i want to buy another remote for this not the universal remote thats $100:smh:, but this same remote that comes with the WD HD player where do i buy another one?

If you are using a portable hd, just download the zip file that contains the updates, open the zip and move the files to the portable hd. then just do this:
# Turn the WD TV on and connect your USB drive
# Use the remote control to select SETTINGS from the home screen
# Highlight the firmware upgrade icon, and press ENTER on the remote
# You will be prompted to perform the firmware upgrade. Select OK and press ENTER.
This will restart the system
# After restarting, the system automatically enters firmware upgrade mode
# Once the update process is completed, the HD media player will restart again

worked perfectly for me.

I think it is necessary. I tried to transfer a 7.5gb blue ray from my pc to the portable, and it wouldn't go. I read somewhere that i need to format it to ntfs in order to do this. I will get new portable and format it for blu rays only.

Oh, you want the same remote that it comes with? You may have to contact the company. Why do you need another?
