i have two complains so far with this WDTV

1. FF and FR is cacat wan. the max is 16x for FF which I find it a bit slow. How to go forward to a certain chapters like this? Takes forever!

2. My WD Passport does not turn off even after I put the WDTV on standby. Only way is to turn it off at the plug point but my plug point got no switch. Yes the HDD is still turning, can feel it. Another alternative is to Eject it, then it stops turning but the LED is still on. But the next time you On back the WDTV, it wont detect your drive unless you unplug and plug it back in. So mar farn likes this.... rolleyes.gif

My connection also went back to Composite today. Ive learned that you must not plug in both composite and HDMI at the same time as its suppose to auto-detect your cable and set accordingly. I tried once more, unplug my composite, HDMI in and do a reset with the little button. Sure enough it detected it and set to HDMI accordingly. Lets see if the setting disappears again next time I turn it on.

no lah, i didnt get it at rm399. ok i will tell the story again. i was there first in line at the WDTV booth. ask how much, they point to the poster with the price printed RM360 BUT they asked for RM399. talk 3 talk 4, call the manager, manager call supplier. ask me to come back in 5 minutes for them to verify. i came back, they told me they sold out. Only got 2 units. Ask me to put down payment and wait till end of the year to collect. This is at RM399.

In the end I bought from APAC in Lowyat after PC Fair at rm360 (but i reserved it during PC Fair period to get this price). Actually I bought the 400gb passport combo at RM690

Excerpt taken from the youtube video posted above -


And the number no.1 biggest mistake home theatre owners made is believing that a $300 dollar cable (especially when carrying a digital signal) is significantly better than a $30 cable. Lets get something straight, most big box electronic stores make their profits on high price cables that cost less than a dollar or two to manufacture. The profit margins are extraordinary. Of course, they want you to believe that an expensive cable is gonna sound like the orchestras is playing in the room. Ultimately if you were to buy overpriced cables, the cables will be better than the cables they used in the studio to record the soundtrack in the first place. So dont be taken by these claims. Money spend elsewhere will make far more of a difference. Dont spend anymore than $30 or so on any standard cables.




Wah! liddat say, people ma no need to sell elite cables liao.......?!?? tongue.gif

hi, when i press power off on the remote, and the player unit light is off, but the hdd light  still on, how to solve this problem ? i using imation apollo 2.5" 160GB hdd. tq.

same with mine. Im using Maxtor 1T Basic. And when I eject this drive, it keeps turning the clock thingy but never ejects. I waited till it went into screen saving mode. Then I cant turn it off while its still trying to eject. I had to unplug the whole thing. I wish it has a on/off switch. Keeping it on standby, I can feel its still quite warm to the touch, meaning still makan electricity....

my firmware is latest, still not fix this

Quick question for WD TV HD Player Owners.

1. Since there are 2 USB ports, can i connect an ext. hdd and then connect a usb thumbdrive and then copy files from the thumbdrive to the hdd?
For me, if this works, it'll be compensating for the lack of wifi adapter. I plan to put this WD TV and an 1TB 3.5 ext.hdd permanently beside the tv, and occasionally adding content through usb disk.

So can it copy as mentioned above?

fingers crossed.....

how are you gonna copy over? No such command exists in the menu. This is not a computer.
