my xtreamer died just now, thinking of buying WDTV live. got question about the usb port, can i multiply the port using usb hub?

Yes. I am using the logitech hub. But i think its not really that useful. Just plug in the HDD with the movies you wanna watch. No point powering on all the HDD as it consume power and shorten the life of the HDD.

For owners of the WDTV Live Hub and WDTV Live Streaming, you can now download these remote control apps for your iOS and Android devices.

Wow this is awesome! Will get the Live-S this week. Long overdue plan.

Which logitech Hub u use?

I can't remember. I pay Rm70 for it.

For the new WDTV Live S.
Can you actually use the custom theme like Aeonish that's actually made for WDTV Live Hub?

u can use customised theme ..... but needs to be tailored for the Live Streaming. apparently, it just involves some minor tweaking to the Live Hub templates. some are already available ... e.g. Mojo theme. Not sure about Aeonish. Not following the news on themes.

hey guys... not sure if this has been asked before... do u guys have a problem where all the movies u play on your tv is played at a scale one time smaller?... every time i play a movie i have to scale it down one time to proper size.. is it because i'm still using an old crt tv?.. ;p

Hi,

Do you guys have a problem with the Audio jack? Sometime it's a bit loose. Can't hear any sound. I have to push it a little bit until hear sound. Anyone having similar problem?

anybody know what happen to my wdtv live?
the power LED keeps blinking and the tv screen only showing the wdtv logo.
all remote button not function.
tried a few time restart but still the same.
please help.
tq

i'm guessing it's a failure to reboot the firmware properly. my suggestion is to try to do a factory reset. there is a pinhole reset button at the back, if i remember correctly. however, bear in mind that after a factory reset, u have to update your firmware all over again. my 2 cents.

already done it.. but still the same

the blinking may also happened when it tries to connect to network..

but the box should still boot up and work properly even if there's no network connection. in his case, it doesn't even get past the WDTV bootup logo, which would indicate to me that the firmware failed to load, hence the unit is rendered unresponsive to any command.

did u do something prior to this failure? e.g. updated to new firmware but did not complete? or played with custom firmware and now reverting to official firmware? is yr wdtv live hooked up to the home network and can u access the box through a remote browser on a pc/notebook?

it would help if u shared more info. it shouldn't just "stop working" all of a sudden. sounds like u have a corrupt firmware perhaps.

wat u mean by the logitech hub? wat model ? u mean external 3.5" HDD doesnt required power becoz of the hub?

USB hub where you can connect 4 USB HDD to the WDTV LIVE.

r u sure can connect 4 units 3.5" External HDD in the same time without the HDD using power itself?

am using the wdtv 1.06.15 official, and now i wanna go back to wdlxtv 1.02.21 0.5.1.1 but it's stuck at 0%. have tried all the tricks mentioned in that forum. anyone got any new ideas how to get back to the BETTER firmware?

thanks

PS - SETTLED ! trick is - to pull out the thumbdrive and stick it back in again. forgot abt this!

That is why you need to buy good USB hub that comes with power supply.
