About Western Digital

Quote

We are thousands of people worldwide working to help you collect, manage and use digital information. Our reliable hard drives and solid state drives are just about everywhere that digital information and content is found, from computers to external and portable storage devices, and from digital video recorders in living rooms to sophisticated medical, military, aerospace, manufacturing and telecommunications systems. Our customers are some of the largest companies in the world, as well as you, who could be using a WD drive right now.

Our high-capacity, durable drives securely store your videos, music and photographs on computers and are quiet, frugal on power and deliver your content fast. Because so much of what you do is now recorded in digital form, WD makes it easy to safely store and share the articles of our lives, and to make duplicates to prevent loss. WD designs and markets plug-and-play external storage devices that expand the capacity of our computers and personal video recorders. They carry a WD label and are found at retailers worldwide. We also make media players that enable you to enjoy your digital content on the biggest screen in your house – your TV.

Businesses take advantage of WD’s high quality and reliability with our enterprise drives in their servers and expansive corporate storage systems, quickly providing critical information to their workers. WD’s green storage leadership enables these businesses to significantly reduce their data centers’ carbon footprint, while increasing their capacity and saving money with lower power consumption.

Specialty applications requiring long lifecycles and the strictest controls on data protection and downtime prevention such as medical devices, military and aerospace equipment and telecommunications systems rely on WD’s embedded drives for uninterrupted service and peace of mind.

We understand the importance of the data you trust to your drives. We focus our passion, knowledge and innovation on products that reliably keep your information and content safe and secure from loss.

Packaging

The Western Digital TV Live Plus is packaged in a pretty sleek black box with yellow accents. Sadly, there are multiple languages on the box even though the target market is the USA. There are a variety of different logos for services including Netflix.

The back of the box contains some additional information and specifications. It supports 1080p and lots of online content.

That's the greatest streamer of them all :)

Also has a super cool iPhone remote control application that allows you to play YouTube, SHOUTcast videos and music directly from the iPhone app on your WDTV live - http://www.wdtvremote.com

Here's something that could make it better: Flash support, then you could watch YouTube (and other flash video sites) videos on it as well.
Aron Schatz Tue Aug 31, 2010 9:25:53 PM #132868
It does Youtube. Did you read the review?
WhiteEagle Wed Sep 1, 2010 5:25:17 PM #132910
I did. I didn't see Flash, which is what YouTube uses.
Aron Schatz Wed Sep 1, 2010 9:34:38 PM #132924
That's not true. Youtube uses Flash for the video delivery system. On the backend, it uses H.264. Many players hook into the backend without Flash and this device is one of them.

That backend is basically how the various "download stuff off of Youtube" browser extensions work, I believe.
