User Reviews for Western Digital WD TV

  Duration of ownership: 3 Months

  Strengths: Plays just about any video file format.

  Weaknesses: No hard drive but for 99 dollars it's great.

  Overall Evaluation: The player will play multiple VOB fileS as long as they are in an ISO file or just one big VOB can be created and played. I have not found a file it won't play well, have used external HD and flash drives. So far Western Digital has issued two firmware upgrades in the 3 months I haved owned it.

  Strengths: Easy To Use

  Weaknesses: Another PC Restricted Product

  Overall Evaluation: I bought this product because I thought the idea was great.Im tired of DVDs all over the place, and I wanted an intelligent MENU DRIVEN product that I could store movies on, and actually browse through a MOVIE MENU to see what's in the drive.I have a brand new Seagate 320 Gig hard drive, but apparently its a Mac format, so immediately after setting up the entire system, I turn on the WD TV Box, and the first thing that pops up on my screen is that it does not support the format.There is no menu to see the films that I had stored , about ten for the test.Still it says it will play the movie, which it did, but there was a lot of black clogged pixilation on the images of all the films I tested.Bottom line is YES, I guess I should have asked the people at Best Buy if this product supported Mac. You'd think with Mac now at almost 40 percent of PC users that companies like Western Digital would format their products to accept Mac hard drives.Im not sure if the poor video quality is because the products don't sync, or if this is actually what the WD TV quality is, but either way I'm really pissed off .I don't recommend this product to any Mac users who expect quality from their products !!
