 Easy to use but could use a little tweaking March 11, 2010
Du Preez Steyn (Alberta, Canada)
This item was easy to set up and use. Excellent quality when playing 720p mkv files.
However it would be much better if it was compatible with the Apple 2TB time capsule. I had to buy an extra 2TB external HD because it wouldn't pick up the time capsule
I got my Mac to recognize it on the network, though the software that came with it is not Mac compatible
I also couldn't get it to find other external harddrives on my network (even when set as shared folders)
It wouldn't recognize my Archos 5 as a drive (it thought it was a camera but still wouldnt display any files), but I guess thats a minor problem
 Glad I bought it... February 24, 2010

I first saw this at a friend's home. He had the HD Media Player (without the Live/network option) connected to each of his two huge HD monitors. The quality was excellent, and the convenience of having access to movies and TV shows through one little box was enticing. I was impressed.
As far as I know, the WD Media Player supports the most video codecs at the moment, so that is useful. The resolution for the output to the monitor depends on the quality of the video you download, so it is not the Media Player that is at fault.
The convenience of just sitting back with access to hundreds of movies and TV shows on a hard drive is such a luxury. I haven't connected the Media Player to my network yet, but I'm looking forward to that, and having access to more video content online. No regrets.
Perfect February 21, 2010

I have been waiting for something like this for years. I have been keeping a lookout for a network media player but they always seem to have a complaint about transfering video. This little device does it perfectly. It plays all of my videos through windows media server effortlessly. Set up was simple. I did hardwire this into my network for maximum bandwith.
I have also plugged in an external drive through the USB and it picked up the drive and played the videos easily.
I highly recommend this product.
Almost perfect February 20, 2010

First off i want to say this item is much better than seagate's version of this. It is the ultimate hd media player. Although it has a few problems, such as video's audio going out of sync when fast forwarding and rewinding for some file types (MP4). But im sure it could be fixed with a new firmware in the future.Going online to watch videos (youtube) is okay but a more variety of websites would be nice. Very easy to use, small box, and amazing video. It is a must buy for anyone.
Quite amazing February 15, 2010

Picture quality is great. Youtube plays amazingly well. You can connect a USB powered hard drive in it but sometimes the drive is not recognized, so you have to reboot the WD. I still have to put some icons here and there to ease navigation. I hope it's not too hard to do. I also hope they continue to develop the firmware to offer more online content in the future.
