WD TV Live Hub? Many of the net service is available or not for us here?

well no netflix and blockbuster. youtube etc are "available"

I'm rather intrigued by the "Stream to other devices" feature - does this move towards the Kaleidescape type of device? at such a price?

Anyone at all tried using wireless keyboard?

Any compatible brands that anyone can recommend?

Apparently, WD claims most wireless keybs should work

Is this a promo price for a limited time only?

No idea...but sure worth the money! It's at All IT, Ikano Powah.

I went to All IT in Digital Mall earlier but they were selling about RM330 if I'm not mistaken.

I always feel WDTV live responsiveness slow and buggy so v1.04 firmware is no difference to me.

In process of getting another media player....tried checking out those China brands like Eaget as well as branded like Seagate and ACryan.

Seems like Sigma chipset like WDTV Live is still the best for watching HD Mkv...i dunno...very hard to make choice....the WDTV Live works fantastic so far...but buying another same unit makes it very boring......

This guy's STUFF not better than WDTV Live?

Frankly, not much confidence in China stuff...price difference not much either. Especially when it comes to streaming over LAN...WDTV Live works great even with a 30GB++ uncompressed rip...i doubt those China brand can stream smoothly...(and the design of one those model with all the blue lights in front....bleuuuu...looks like cheap DVD players...).

WD also use a Sigma chipset which seems to have best quality and less problem when it comes to reading most MKVs file. You can check out the ACRYAN thread...seems like it has some significant weak points(native to Realtek chipset) that is not an issue with WD. IMO, if WD also plays RMVB, that would be perfect.

But there is a Digital Lifestyle Fair this weekend...maybe got cheap sales there.

that guy should give you one unit to try for 30day with zero obligation.

If got, i dun mind try...

wdtv live for RM299 only this weekend

If I want the sound output to be in digital (e.g. Dolby Digital or DTS) coming from my home theater system, what should my setup be (as in what cables and where to connect it etc.)? Not too good with things like this.

Easy. All u need is the optical out from WDTV Live to ur AVR. If ur AVR has HDMI, that can do also, but u must connect the HDMI from ur AVR back to ur TV.

PIKOM Digital Lifestyle Expo 2010 at KLCC ...10-12 Dec

This price used to be WD employee's price

I am still deciding between ACRYAN mini, some god-knows-what China brand and a 2nd unit WDTV Live....

I think i am leaning closer to another WDTV Live....tried and tested.....and now VERY CHEAP.

Even employee price currently is RM 330...this is cheaper then employee price...I dunno how they do it...!!!

Recond/refurbish WDTV Live???
