… master of most,
As in Jack of All Trades
I want to begin by saying the ‘I like’ (but I don’t yet fully ‘love’) WD’s TV Live Hub and this earns it 4 (but not 5) stars. And I like it in spite of it lacking a few almost ‘must have’ features for a device in its class such as some storage redundancy (RAID-1 = disk mirroring) or at least a built-in backup utility or any significant security or, to a lesser extent (I’ll explain) built-in Wi-Fi. And I like it even though bugs still exist such as the Hub’s occasional failure to maintain/update its ‘media library’. And I do like it even though the Hub’s supported Web ‘services’ are few at this time – because some of the ‘major’ ones are there.
___________________________
Note: (9/9/2011 update):
I am upgrading this to 5-stars because since the original writing of my review most of the bugs have been addressed and many important Web services and other features such as ‘games’ were added.
Because of its versatility, built-in storage, low power consumption and its ability to integrate with everything else the Hub is now the centerpiece (the true hub)of my entertainment center.
___________________________
WHY I LIKE IT
Some of the shortcomings duly noted above, I like the Hub because:
The Hub turns out to be a well connected, relatively easy to use and operate, low-power, physically small, versatile video/music/still photos player with the built in ability to store the equivalent of almost 200 DVD-quality movies on its built-in 1TB drive, expandable to many times more than that via an attached USB drive and capable to sync and play content from any accessible media server such as PCs, Xboxes or PS3s, Microsoft Home Servers or NAS (Network Attached Storage) devices.
The Hub can also go out on the Net and report the local weather, play YouTube videos, Netflix, Hulu Plus and Blockbuster movies, Podcasts and Pandora music (I compiled a list of supported Web services below).
I was able to add the TV Live Hub to my Harmony universal remote control setup and I was able to address the lack of built-in backup (running a scheduled Robocopy task off a Home Server) because the Hub’s drive can be mapped and managed as any other computer drive through a PC.
The Hub plays content off existing media servers and it acts as a media server for other devices (PCs, PS3s, etc.) on the same network. It can be set to sync with whatever content it can discover on your home network and it supports iTunes (did not test iTunes support myself). And for the hard-core YouTube users, a USB-attached keyboard should allow for easy searching. Also, the Hub makes it easy to post content directly to Facebook and Flickr.
And, finally, the Hub is likely to do more and do it better tomorrow because WD is constantly updating the firmware and hopefully it will address some of the more annoying bugs soon and because there appears to be an active, lively, innovative, helpful and supportive user community. [Note: 2 firmware updates later, several new Web services were added and some bugs were fixed.]
________________________________________________________________
Here are the hub’s features in a more organized format.
MEDIA PLAYER
- Plays videos with full support for HD and multi-channel sound.
- Plays music with support for playlists.
- Plays movies/videos with filters for genre, rating and so on.
- Displays photos, has slideshow capabilities.
- Games section (added on 5/17/2011) has ‘mind games’ such as Sudoku, puzzles, memory games.
MEDIA HUB
- Acts as a media server for other devices (PCs, PS3s, Xboxes). My PS3 ‘saw’ the Hub and was able to play content off it as soon as it went online.
- Plays content from other media servers on the local network. It saw ‘everything’ we were sharing as soon as we turned it on.
- Plays content off NAS (Network Attached Storage).
- Syncs with media found on PCs and has support for iTunes.
ONLINE SERVICES
- Services availability is controlled by WD. As far as I know, you can’t add or remove a service but that may change in the future.
- Current selection is limited but ‘big names’ are supported: Netflix, Blockbuster, YouTube, Pandora, Flickr, Facebook, etc.
- Grabs metadata (title, description, cover graphics) for music and movies.
- Firmware is upgraded by WD remotely.
CUSTOMIZATION
- Users can download or create their own themes and backgrounds.
- Integrates with Harmony remotes.
- Several styles of menus.
- Additional storage can be attached directly through USB port(s).
- Supports USB keyboards.
- Supports certain Wi-Fi USB-connected devices (not tested by me).

Great product just read the online manual!,
This is a fantastic product.
Only two simple things need to be done after you have plugged everything in.
Read the manual provided online. It is very informative and explains everything in detail.
Download WD Discovery. Link for it is provided in the online manual.
You can then map the hub as a hard drive and it’ll function just like any other hard drive you might have used.
Just drag any content you want into it and you are done.
My dad who isn’t technologically savvy has started using it as well which tells you a lot.
It really is that simple to use.

Very cool,
This thing does what it suppose to do in addition having 1TB HD it’s a big plus. I can honestly say this is the best $200 that I’ve spent in a long time. It plays every possible movie format that I have and that’s the main reason I bought it. Couple of things that I’m not really thrilled about (that’s why I’m giving 4 stars)…first no built-in WI-FI, you have to get one of those USB Wi-Fi adapters….. and the second online content is very limited but I hope this will change with future firmware update
