Just got this yesterday device and hooked up less than 30 min.
First Impression:
Size - It was super small and compact
Quality - I'm not sure but it looks like a plastic box than calling it electronic device. Maybe metallic would've been better for esthetic
Lots of junk - I never used the CD Software and had lots of junk in there. I just used the device and power supply.
After 1 hour use:
I didn't hook up the USB drive because I'm using my computers as network share drive. I was bit worry if it can stream 1080p through the network....IT SURE DID!. It did take 3~4 second to load up. Also, when refreshing the directory you have to reconnect. It's little bit annoying but no big deal. YouTube worked great but it lacked Hulu. I knew it didn't have Hulu from beginning but perhaps WD will read this review and consider for next firmware patch.
The remote is a HUGE disappointment. No sound control? Can't skip? You can forward it but no skip. There is a "skip" button but it moves onto next movie file. Makes sense if the skip can forward next 10 min or something. Also, it's super tiny.. easy to lose or be hidden inside the sofa. Again, it looks like a plastic toy that 5 yr old can enjoy playing.
Overall Review:
For the money, you can't go wrong w/ this. Why watch video on your dinky 22" Computer LCD when you can maximize your 52" LCD in your living room? So glad, I'm not using Vacuum Player (Xbox 360) to do this any more.
