1219745 2011-07-28 22:13:00 I've been pondering WD TV Live, but there's a question I'm having trouble getting an answer to: Can WD TV (or other competing media centres) stream from providers apart from YouTube - like Vimeo/ (vimeo.com/), TVNZ On Demand (http:), TV3 On Demand (ondemand.tv3.co.nz/) or Zlin TV (http:) ?

and if WD TV can't, anyone know of a media player that can ?

just bought a Netcomm NP121 to get wired ethernet to the lounge AV cabinet :cool: This will be useful for firmware upgrades, BD Live, and eventually internet sourced TV viewing.

1219747 2011-07-29 00:56:00 thanks for that info.

So, what kind of device can you put in your lounge, to stream video from those kinds of websites - without relying on an "app" built specifically for that stream on a specific device.

I guess we're really talking about a device containing a browser - a PC? is that my only option to get random video streams from the net to my lounge?
