Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the TV Personal Content Media Player's ease of use and its ability to stream media from various sources, including hard drives. Many appreciate its compatibility with a wide range of file types and its compact size. However, some users found the user interface to be less than satisfactory. The player's strong performance and HDMI connectivity were also frequently praised.

    This will be my 2nd unit (need 1 for each TV). It is great. Easy set up. Plays all file formats. The only problem and it is small: after a long time of using it I get some memory error. I restart it and don't see it for a while. Definitely worth buying.

    WD TV has had no issues playing any type of files. The only complaint would be how slow it is to boot to the HD but I knew that going in.

    Have had several WD media players. This is a nice update although a little confusing from the company website which is the latest product offering in this line.. Would have given 5 stars except for the incomplete listing when using the a playlist of music filtered by genre. WD displays the album art but not the artist, song title, and genre: Just says "---" after these items.

    Unfortunately the remote control was broken before I got to use it. Went to Best Buy to exchange the unit or control but Store no longer carried this unit I had to buy a control from EBay. You would have thought Best Buy would have reduced the price of the unit or pay for a new control.

    I was looking for something that would play 1920x1080 60p mp4 files shot with my Canon HF-G30 and was surprised to find this player will do it. However, it would not play AVI files shot with my old Canon Optura 500 camcorder. I haven't tried any of the apps so I can't comment on those.

    The Newest version of the WD box allows me to watch movies directly from my computer. It also has good reception. on the MlLB network. It is usable with Apple devices. I recommend this product.

    I purchased this to replace one of my WDTV Live boxes. I like the product even though it no longer has the NetFlix software. All other features that I use seem to work good. The only problem that I have is it will tend to drop the connection with my wireless router. I believe that it is a compatibility issue, but am still working on it.

    Easy to use but found it difficult to get it to start the continous play/looping feature. I found how to use it right away but it just wouldn't loop continously until it started doing after 20 attempts.

    I bought this device for the Sling Player app, thought it would be a good addition when traveling. The load times are long and User Interface is very slow and clunky! I hear the Roku is a better experience, we shall see!
