Buying Western Digital WD TV Live Network-ready HD Media Player WDBAAN0000NBK-NESN


The box comes with a stupid, simplistic, incomplete piece of paper with pictures telling you how to connect it. It doesn't cover lots of configurations, and there's no paper manual. The digital manual must have taken about 5 minutes to write, and is useless.

There are NO BUTTONS ON THE DEVICE. That's right, you can't even turn it on/off without the remote. The firmware it comes with is garbage. The sound/video options are confusing and have no help info, and I've been doing a/v crap for decades. As soon as I tried to change to high def, the display broke and never came back. I got the new firmware through the cheesy update utility, which didn't help a thing. I even went to the site and spent several hours downloading adn installing a homebrew firmware that the forum recommended. It would boot up about one in 10. After about 5 hours of screwing with it, and getting it to work about 10% of the time, I sent that garbage back. What a disgusting pos.
