| 1186891 | 2011-03-17 05:56:00 | I am looking at maybe getting one of these units in the future. Only problem is that my tv is not near an ethernet cable (or there is one and it was plastered over :mad::mad::mad:) can any one confirm which wireless adapters they have gotten to work? |

| 1186895 | 2011-03-17 18:58:00 | There's some specific Linksys and a few other ones that they list in the Manual. Personally I have a WDTV Live and an ACRyan PlayOn media player, and I got the Wifi dongle for the PlayOn. I'd go for the PlayOn over the WDTV, unless you specifically wanna get into custom firmware and doing funky things on your WDTV like having it run torrents for you etc pbtech.co.nz And this: pbtech.co.nz |

| 1186896 | 2011-03-17 19:24:00 | so the playon is better? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1186897 | 2011-03-17 22:05:00 | Hard to say if it's better, but I must say it's become my preferred device. The ability to just hold the "Down" button and have it auto scroll down through my list of files / folders is a *definite* bonus!! |

| 1186898 | 2011-03-17 23:32:00 | Hey chill I see that pb just got the new Playon2 | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1186899 | 2011-03-18 00:13:00 | Only really good if you're going to use it as a NAS server, I can't see any other advantages except gigabit Ethernet. Don't bother with Facebook / Twitter from them. Done that on the WDTV, it's not worth the hassle :p |
