Advice please... I thought WD hard disk were generally seen as unreliable?
mines is cool so far. got a 3 year warranty anyway.
thanks tim, might get one. Not sure which is better, buying a ps3 and flashing it to be a media player or buying the wd media centre...
i dont own a ps3, so
someone did say that if you own a ps3, no need to get this.
I never had a problem with any WD hard driveAdvice please... I thought WD hard disk were generally seen as unreliable?
Side note, I skimmed through the various threads and I wasn't sure if this was ever brought up, but the WDTV can also play subtitle (srt) files for all the heads who like foreign films.
what does this mean?

Pros: This thing works with a externally powered USB hub. I plugged a 4-port BELKIN F5U304-WHT USB 2.0 Plus Hub into one of the 2 USB ports on the WD TV. The BELKIN F5U304-WHT USB 2.0 Plus Hub is powered separately by an AC adapter that's plugged into an outlet. I then plugged a Kingston 16GB USB flash drive, a 2.5" 160GB Western Digital Essential portable HDD, & a 2.5" 500GB LaCie portable HDD into the Belkin USB hub. After it stopped scanning, I used the folder view in Videos. It only presented USB1 as an option, which I selected. From this, I was presented with being able to select from the WD Passort HDD, the LaCie HDD, & the Kingston flash drive.
Externally-powered USB hubs with 7 ports exist. This means that you can plug 1 7-port externally-powered usb hub into each of the 2 available USB ports on the WD TV for a total of 14 separate USB-powered storage devices such as 2.5" HDDs & flash drives!
I'll see if I can chain together USB hubs, to allow for more than 14 devices!

Eh BenQ, the first review on that site had me in friggin stitches man
hahahahah
hahahahah
what this?
Cons: None, unless you are stupid, ignorant, an idiot or all of the above. There's too many dumba$$es here who rush to judgement, like the basket case who complained that it does not support the NTFS file system. It DOES support NTFS.
Complaining that it takes too long for it to scan your 1TB external HDD for files? Give me a break!
1 Terabyte = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes!
My con is reading about the stupid complaints about the WD TV.
"No Network Support?"
"I Don't Like The Small Remote!"
"No Component Video?"
Western Digital wanted to keep the price of the WD TV affordable at around 100 bucks.
Guess What?!?!
Mission Accomplished as far as I'm concerned!

it means that he added a device with multiple usb ports. he plugged in all his devices to it, then plugged it into the wd player. he was able to see multiple drives. this is a good idea.

Is there anyway to have album art on the movies? Right now its just a little square with the name of the movie underneath.
Yeah, it doesnt play flv files. Hopefully that will be in the next update. But blu rays play perfectly.
