Below are reviews found on other web sites for this product submitted by customers.
Some time ago, we took a look at the Seagate FreeAgent Theater and today we turn our attention to the competing product from Western Digital: The WD TV HD Media Player. Effectively, you are able to take the multimedia content stored on nearly any USB device and deliver it to the big screen and big s
There's an interesting new niche market developing in the media player arena as storage companies like Western Digital, SanDisk, and Iomega look for a way to tap the growing number of consumers who have multimedia files stored on their computers and want to bring them to their TVs without the ha
Could Western Digital's new digital media player be the ideal companion for the company's external hard drives? And does it belong in your entertainment center?

I bought this for my parents to have access to my media files stored on an external drive. No major complaints so far, I've had some issues with file seeking with HD movies, sometimes the system locks up but I just need to reset it. Keep your eyes peeled for the Live version of this as it addresses many of the common weaknesses of this model.

Bought this for a new TV we also purchased. It's very easy to setup, and has a great interface. HDMI output too! Works great. Very happy with the purchase.

It is not without its flaws (sluggish, bad remote), but at that price point (when on sale), I don't think you can find a better 1080p media player. If full HD is not a priority, then you might want to consider something else.

I bought this device to play x264 mkv files in my living room. I originally had a 2.5" drive connected to it and was pleased with the fact that a single USB cable was enough to power it, making it very portable. I later found out that you could run hacked firmware and decided to give that a shot. It was relatively simple and it allowed me to plug in a usb ethernet adapter. I tried using a wireless G connection, but that's too slow for 720p HD content though a wireless N connection might! All in all, great product
Get this, and a large volume external hard drive, rip your DVD's onto the hard drive, and you can put the DVD collection into storage. This is a very handy and convenient way to run your movie collection - it's tiny and takes up almost no space.

It plays almost anything I've tried on it. Just too bad it doesn't play rmvb. Has the right connections I need as well with hdmi and optical. Just doesn't decode dts signals or do dts-hd pass-through. Got a few of these for others and so far so good. Does run a bit hot if not ventilated.

Great little streamer. It plays my full quality HD rips without a hitch. I send the untouched video stream right to the TV and stream the core HD audio streams to my receiver. Some people will complain about no TrueHD/DTS HD, but there are so many reviews out there that have shown there is little-to-no-difference between those codecs and their core streams. And this is on ~$20,000+ audio systems. One thing I wish it had was PGS subtitle support, which would mean I wouldn't have to convert subtitles into any format. Please WD!
