However, some users experienced compatibility issues with certain Smart TVs and found the setup process challenging. A few customers also expressed disappointment with the limited selection of pre-loaded movies and the quality of the instructions.

    Although I received two free 4k movies with this device, I would not have purchased this item. It was for free with the new TV. Why would you pay for this unit and then have to pay a lot to get 4K. They should give this away for what they charge for the 4K.

    We got this with our tv, did not pay for. Glad we didn't! They make it seem plug n play but it's not you have to download an app on your tv, then you have to purchase the movie to either rent or watch or buy. Less features than my Apple TV which I love!

    Purchased this WD drive with the expectation that I would have some 4K content to view on my Samsung TV. The movies on the device require registration with FandangoNow. Ok, done. Activate TV on account, but still can't watch movies. Try to submit for credit from card included with TV but it won't work. After submitting through customer service, I am told that the offer has expired. What? There is no expiration date on the card. Basically paid $90 for a 1 TB backup drive that would have normally cost $60.

    Seems useful but not as great as one would think initially based on the presentation. Need to sign up, open account, and pay significant amount per movie bought.

    Says it's preloaded, but only with the ability to pay for downloads. If you have on demand movies and Netflix, this doesn't add much

    Requires Move2Go activation. Minimal directions make out of the box use difficult. Weak WiFi makes system ineffective.

    Unlike last year when you got a free drive loaded with 4K Movies and additional 4K content, this comes with nothing on it. You get some sort of redemption code for 3 free movies that you have to download after signing up for some service. How cheap. I am using the drive for my PC instead.

    Unfortunately I had to return the WD - My Passport Cinema as it wasn't compatible with the new 2016 Samsung TV I purchased with it; even though everything I read stated that it would be compatible with any Samsung 9000 Series and above.
