| 1186901 | 2011-04-13 02:18:00 | I have the earlier non networked WDTV and I think it's great. I just put anything I want to watch on a USB stick and play it from there. I have been very impressed with the format support, almost everything works. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1186902 | 2011-04-13 02:51:00 | Does the play-on or WDTV have some sort of way of showing what vid files have been played.?? ie: on my HTPC, if I have a bunch of say TV programs stored, as they get played they get marked as played (ie bold filename font turned to normal font to show as played) Cheers |

It looses this data though if you turn it off at the wall. Not sure what the WDTV Live or the Play-on do though sorry. |

| 1186904 | 2011-04-13 07:02:00 | I have 3 hardware media players: - WD TV Live HD (best overall) - Anyware PBR-500 - Mediagate 450 HD They each have good points and bad points. The WD TV Live is great for accessing Tune In radio stations (such as RNZ Concert, BBC3, ABC Classic). It does not have a display so you need your TV on to navigate when listening to the radio The PBR-500 in addition to being a media player that plays USB and network shares has component video capture (!) allowing recording of Sky stuff and its transfer to PC (it has an FTP server). No built-in Wifi The Mediagate, with built-in WiFi, nowdays is used to access Shoutcast radio stations. It's a good HD media player (internal HDD, network (XP), USB) but it won't connect to Win7 The worst media player by far is the Bravia USB port. (EX700). It won't accept NTFS HDDs. Only FAT32 not extFAT (has 4GB file limit). It's VERY picky on what it will play. Rather than getting more wireless dongles I'm thinking of getting a "range extender" or wireless client to combine all the players and wirelessly connect to my main wireless router and desktop network (perhaps a Netgear WN2000RPT-100Aus) |
