Works Great with Hard Drives!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared with the Roku 3, this Media Player handles media streaming from the cloud and your DLNA/home network the best, as well as easy organization and playback of media from your high capacity hard drives. It is priced very competitively and also has many of the must-have media streaming apps. It, unfortunately, lacks the Amazon Instant apps and many of the live sports apps, though. But, if you are a media hoarder, I think this is the media player for you!

Great Media Player Solution
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm using the WD TV Live Media Player for watching Netflix and hearing music (Pandora). It is really easy to use, high definition and no problems with connectivity or slow response at all.

Best streamer for ISO and Video Files
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great streamer. Sometimes faulty playback. All Video types work except Blu Ray ISO and M2TS playback. SPDIF nice for those like me who have HD monitor with no HDMI receiver. Finally all my hard drives full of videos can be played without the need of a PC! Converting all Blu Rays to MKV for optimal lossless playback of DTS HD MA and Dolby True HD audio tracks.

Works better than Logitech Review or Tablet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for myself, wife, and grandkids to access Slingbox from 2nd home. All of us gave up on Logitech Review which seemed to freeze up every 5 minutes. WD live Media Player MUCH more stable. Even wife and grandkids can easily work the WD live Media Player's built in "slingbox app".

difficult set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had some issues getting it to work correctly on my network. Had to check the domain name on my network, and then change it in the Network settings on the western digital set up area. Lots of features once up and running so compared to what's out there for streaming files off your computer, its not bad. Overall worth the purchase.

Excellent quality and easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up took just a few minutes. The mandatory firmware update took a little longer, but was nearly automatic. If you are looking to view your movies off a USB drive or a Network Attached Storage drive via Wi-Fi, regardless of format, then this is the device for you. My only regret is that it doesn't have a web browser or an ESPN 3 app.

I liked it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I bought this because I used one in Afghanistan. It worked great there so I thought it would work great at home. In the end it did but not right away. I hooked it up and after a bit of messing around I finally figured out which video output it was using. I could not find any way to select one or the other without seeing the on screen video page. After I was able to see the device I then hooked up my 1TB external hard drive and.......nothing. So I left everything plugged in for a few hours. The device finally saw my hard drive and then I could access my movies, music, etc. Over all it works great.

Does exactly what I hoped it would do.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought to stream home HD movies to non-WiFi TV. It does that very well. So far it has played every file type I have. We record the group skiing and want to want watch it when we get off the lake. After transferring the camcorder's *.mts files, it will play each file in the folder without any other effort. I love that.
