I been using my WD TV Live for about a year now. I been using it mostly for netflix.
I have been happy with it also. I rarely used it for mythtv UPNP since I want to do the commercial skipping and I also have a mini mac for the mythfrontend stuff. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 3:48 PM, R KANNAN <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rk111810@gmail.com">rk111810@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I bought a Western Digital TV Live Streaming Media player (Model #<br>
WDBHG70000NBK-HESN) primarily to be used as a UPNP front end for<br>
Myth TV. I thought I will share my experience with it.<br>
<br>
This unit come with a HDMI/Composite output, wired and wireless<br>
connection to network and digital optical audio output and a full<br>
featured remote for under $100. It is very small about 4" x 4 " x 2"<br>
in size.<br>
<br>
The quick reference guide that came with the package was not very<br>
helpful and I had to download the user manual in PDF.<br>
<br>
WD TV Live found the Myth TV back end as a media server when I<br>
connected it the wired network. The user interface is OK and I could<br>
browse my recording collection.<br>
<br>
The remote is compact and the controls are logically arranged. In<br>
addition navigation and menu buttons, it also has numeric keypad.<br>
<br>
The player was slow to start playing any video when selected. The<br>
video output is in 1080p and is good. The audio through optical<br>
connection was in Dolby 5.1 & DTS digital and was very good.<br>
<br>
It also came with access to services like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus,<br>
etc. But I was disappointed to see that there was no way to access a<br>
web browser. I found searching on-line services could be made easier<br>
by connecting a USB keyboard to the player.<br>
<br>
All in all, it was a good buy and I am happy with it.<br>
