WD TV Live Plus is the Shit!
- Thread starter BGcruiser
- Start date
Anybody here fool with that Xbox Media Center using the original Xbox console. The only thing WD Live TV has over XBMC is the ability to play MKV files for high def movies. I bought a WD Live just as a supplement to my XBMC to watch the mkv files. My XBMC is essential to daily living, I have my entire movie collection, music collection, emulators for every gaming console and about 60 original Xbox games all on the console. Anybody who has one knows what I am talking about.
U prolly on yo own playa...xBox?
Yeah that will go over realllly well wif da ladays!

I do watch moview on mine, but its annoying and I don't have anything for the bedroom.
I got the orginal WDTV and a 1 TB Harddrive, I just freed up 48 gigs of space because I went cold turkey on porn (laugh fellas)... So I still have over 300 somethings gigs of space left.
I have 258 movies and currently 5 complete collections of TV Shows and currently trying to get more shows. Because personally I feel you get the most of the machine when you add TV Shows.
I don't have a need for wifi but I would like to see some other players out there but I'm not officially on the market as the original does what I need it to. Point, click and play.

Got a couple, I download Bluray Mkv files and play them on it. My PS3 and Sony Blu Ray player have been sitting there like
There's not much this can do that the PS3 can't. Is it? Maybe mkv.
just got the wd tv live today in mail trying to connect to my wireless router using netgear wireless adapter any ideas would rather stream from computer instead of hard drives.
Also where is that thumbnail thread the search function is not working at all for me.

I dont even use my box like you, and i'm convinced its a great buy....

Western Digital WD TV Live HD Media Player
$94.99
XBMC is still nice. I use it in my family room. If it played mkv files I wouldnt need anything else. I just FTP my files into the Xbox so when company comes over, no fumbling - just playing.
Damn forgot all about that link. Good looking bout to grab one
Just copped my shit from Best Buy....get home and find out I need a usb wireless adapter to go wireless!
I stay losin!!!! I just got one of the lives after over a year of buying and returning them unopened (ps3 is pretty good). 1 thing I was not ready for was the horrible interface / gui. Everyone posts these screens of redbox/netflix looking onscreen display but that takes a lot of work
Pretty much. Before I copped the WDTV, my PS3 was my media center. But downloading a bluray rip and converting it for the PS3 would take waaay too fukkin long.
saw this in action @ comic con. not bad deviceJust save more money,and pre order this.
This box will leave all the other media players behind in it's dust.

yea mine does it every now and then when I read the review it informs us of this.
yeah its rather inconvenient, so I finally setup the network share and I can stream movies to the box except when it comes to 1080p bluray rips, it freezes anytime I try to play them, 1080p plays find when I have a hard drive connected but not when I stream
the WD media player is a str8 beast. my only issue with it is the occasional freezing up
did you update the firmware?
I am Seriously thinking about getting this Piece..... But what's the Difference bet this and apple TV (The New one... I'm a Mac Lover) they are the same price and both can hook up to Netflix
(which I am Already a member) fellas help me make my decision so I can go get it this week.

if only you could stream or even subscribe to stream premium channels like HBO, Showtime, Stars and Cinemax oh and don't forget local channels how about for all states like in the early DTV days. Now that would be a hell of a machine!
and Cable can then kiss my ass!

WD Live TV Hub media streamer / NAS leaks out of Best Buy with gigabit ethernet, 1TB hard drive
By Sean Hollister posted Oct 16th 2010 8:58PM
Western Digital's got a few different media streamers to its name, but the only one with sizable internal storage was the pared-down Elements Play. No more, because the AVS Forums have stumbled upon a feature-packed alternative -- the WD TV Live Hub. Purchased at a Best Buy before the blue shirts realized their mistake, the slim new set-top comes with 1TB of storage, 1080p playback over HDMI 1.4, component and composite video out, optical S/PDIF, and all the internet connectivity you'd expect (including Netflix, Blockbuster, Pandora, YouTube and Facebook) over speedy gigabit ethernet. We don't know how robust the network-attached-storage functionality is, but the lucky owner of this box says it serves up iTunes and DLNA and can function as a network share, just like the My Book Live. Not too shabby for $229, eh? Find plenty more pics and a list of supported formats at our source link.
