WD updates video streamer for Netflix, iPlayer

[bassethound]

Western Digital has updated its WD TV Live set-top box firmware to support not only BBC iPlayer but also Netflix.

Netflix kicked off its UK video streaming service yesterday. The jury is still out on whether it offers a better option than the likes of Amazon's Lovefilm and Tesco's Blinkbox.

However, there can be few Brits who don't relish the idea of watching iPlayer on a TV, especially when relatively few sets have the service already built in. Some tellies from Sony and Samsung do, for instance.

I've got one and TBH everytime WD bring out new firmware it's a nightmare.
They need to fix the basic things first

Why is it a nightmare?

Take the last upgrade for example.
After it people were having problems stopping a film. The remote wouldn't respond and rebooting it sent the box crazy.
It also stopped reading formats such as jpeg, wmv, mov etc.
It's still a great box, though dont be the first to do the upgrade lol
