This is latest affordable HD media player you can in the market now. I was considering DVICO TVIX 6500a, but it was too costly.
So what is this player all about? This is like a jukebox for all your videos, music and photos. Be it HD, home videos or DVD. It can read almost all video and music formats out there. Just plug in your hard drive via USB into WD TV player and you are good. The interface is clean and sleek.
You can now even put cover arts for each video. I download HD contents, mostly 720p resolution and play it on my 42 inch Panasonic Viera Plasma TV and it works like a charm.
The advantage? Firstly, I don't have to buy a bluray disc and player which cost a bomb now to enjoy HD content and secondly, I can manage all video and music into 1 place. It's a home entertainment jukebox! No more disc management and labeling.
This is how the on screen interface looks like.
Currently I am using a 1TB harddrive and I have about 200+ HD movies.
WD is constantly releasing new firmware to improve the player. So far, they are doing a pretty good job in listening to the users and improving gradually.
