Finally I got a WD TV and.. I can't be more dissapointed.
Thanks to all
You need the Live Plus - it's pretty good, and does a nice job with Netflix as well (I bought it just for Netflix)

Is that some sort of Bang & Olufsen or Bose where you pay a big plus because of its branding? I think paying that amount of money for a Multimedia HDD is absolutely crazy, even if you have really lots of money. I suppose it works wonders, doesn't it?

Now it has been, mostly, the optional header compression feature that screewed me. Tomorrow it may be another thing and it won't get fixed... it's a shame. |

However, I still find that if it doesn't get done properly, it's not because it isn't possible, but because the makers don't care at all about doing a great product or doing a not-so-good one. Western Digital should better have done something very good and include it in all their players and give proper support instead of doing stuff from mediocre to it's-not-bad and doing I don't know how many different players with an equal number of different decoding solutions, all with different problems. |

maybe an xtreamer is right for your parents... header compression was fixed nearly instantly with newer firmwares, else it's nearly the same hardware as the asus oplay (realtek)

oh, thanks for the suggestion. I can't buy the xtreamer in any shop where I can see it, and after my experience I not confident enough.
They have quite an old laptop, so at the end I'll and after thinking about it, I'll just buy them a new one. This will be quite more expensive, but after thinking it right, they really deserve it and I can afford it. |
